Hi, I went through GitLab CI documentation and it seems we probably _could_ use it as an alternative to Buildbot. That said, the switch would not be trivial, and would not add much value to the current Buildbot setup imho. Plus I have a feeling getting t_client.sh to work would be a lot of work. The good thing about Buildbot is that the buildmaster configuration is pure Python, so it is easily adaptable to our needs with minimal code changes. Plus buildbot is not limited to a particular web service (GitLab/GitHub), but still provides the hooks to integrate with almost anything[*]. We're thus not limited by the tool itself. Buildbot build failure messages are available in the openvpn-builds mailing list archive: <https://sourceforge.net/p/openvpn/mailman/openvpn-builds/> For a "normal" developer the buildbot webui is not of much interest. One exception is manually triggering builds against other Git repos or branches (e.g. one with a proposed fix). -- Samuli Seppänen Community Manager OpenVPN Technologies, Inc irc freenode net: mattock [*] <http://docs.buildbot.net/latest/manual/cfg-changesources.html>
