Re: [Haskell-cafe] Psa : perhaps time for maintainers to start migrating off Travis ci

As a user of all of the following, GitHub Actions > Circle CI > Travis. You get much more control on Github Actions, you can cache stuff, you can control when it runs. On Mon, Nov 16, 2020 at 10:17 AM wrote:

Speaking of CI systems and OpenSource, I'd like to mention CircleCI as well: https://circleci.com/open-source/ (No affiliation, just a happy user.)

Did have slightly negative experience with TravisCI recently, can confirm the sentiment.

Hey everyone: it looks like, from my perspective and experiences, that Travis ci should perhaps now be viewed as not open source friendly. Or even converging on hostile?

1) crazy long queue times/ latency for oss ci actions to run

2) very low concurrency on oss builds.

3) very low build build minute caps for oss that require high touch customer support contact to adjust.

I’ve started moving my own projects slowly to gh actions for now, though there’s also gitlab ci , src hut and other options that may suit different folks.

There’s definitely some ways to keep on having the clever cabal caching we know and love that folks like the Haskell-ci folks and others have hacked out for Travis be available on other platforms, though I don’t think there’s consolidated docs for those yet ? Def seen it discussed though.

Heres a url to my dupe ticket where I share an example naive use of the setup Haskell gh actions Config, definitely not perfect. But kinda amazing to have Mac and Linux and windows ci all in one ! :)
