CI Coverage has now been restored, however please note that dependency changes to non-KDE projects will not be possible until the Binary Factory has been restored to operational condition (as the CI relies on Craft for non-KDE projects, and it is unable to complete builds due to the WebRTC/Glib issues). We are also unable to deploy any new CI nodes for Windows at this time due to the same issue. The Binary Factory remains inoperable at this time. > > Unfortunately due to the nature of these failures it is possible we > will not be able to restore full service until Microsoft releases the > 3rd preview release of Visual Studio 15.8. > > For those interested, the issue preventing us from restoring coverage > is a compiler/linker regression within MSVC in the 15.7 series, which > occurs when building the WebRTC component used within QtWebEngine (and > which also affects builds of Firefox and Chrome for those doing that). > > Unfortunately rolling back to an earlier version of MSVC isn't an > option in our case as changes to the Visual Studio build utility > (MSBuild) cause it to pass unsupported arguments to the > compiler/linker when building glib.
