With respect to CI:While I know little about OS400, Perldoc says that you *can *natively compile Perl with IBM's Visual Age compiler. Most CPAN modules are either pure Perl, portable XS (a bunch of C macros), or provide a pure Perl alternative. Whether the tests depend on any exceptions would have to be investigated.
https://perldoc.perl.org/perlos400GitHub actions supports self-hosted runners; I don't know what it would take to port the runner to OS400. https://github.com/actions/runner reports that the runner is mostly C# (95%), with a little JS (3.5%) and Shell (1.3%). If you do and supply a machine (VMs are fine), Actions can be told to schedule jobs on your runner. (And export suitable environment variables.)

This is why I did not submit a PR for it yet.I'm a little tired of the fragile gskit situation. I'm willing to re-evaluate once we see a CI job that builds and tests curl with gskit. I want to (continuned to) raise the bar for what is an acceptable level for supported TLS libraries in curl.Because if nobody can make CI builds for gskit, then I don't think it is that important either.Yes, it is important because there are no alternative under OS400. This is not a gskit problem, rather an OS400 one.There's no CI for OS400 because 1) tests do no run on this platform; 2) is there an OS400 CI environment available ?No tests on OS400: would need perl among other features. These are available under PASE which is an AIX emulation, but certainly not native OS400.For 16 years, the OS400 port has been tested manually to all users' satisfaction.If you have decided gskit cannot be saved from deprecation, please write it explicitly and avoid letting some "hope" on it: from your Jan 2 mail https://curl.se/mail/lib-2023-01/0003.html "If we get the gskit support in shape in time before August 2023, I think that is a working argument to *not* deprecate it then". You did not mention a CI. IMO, I now have done enough developments that are not accepted, or even ignored.Patrick
