Hi everyone,
the folks at travis have changed their pricing model for their future
platform travis-ci.com. Currently we're using travis-ci.org, which will
be shutdown at the end of this year. For travis-ci.com, it seems that
they will charge per used-build time, especially for OS X jobs . Have a
look here: https://blog.travis-ci.com/2020-11-02-travis-ci-new-billing /
https://blog.travis-ci.com/oss-announcement. I did some testing on the
new platform and did 3 OS X build on a public repo (my fork of the
hydrogen repo), which amounted to 5000 Credits. Open Source projects
seem to have free budget of 25000 credits. It seems that you can ask for
more if you contact their support. It seems also to be the case that
they charge for other build types (like linux builds), but less credits
then for the OS X builds. The whole situation is a bit unclear for me,
and the travis forum is also full of people who have some questions
about the new pricing model :)
So this gives us some trouble, since we're using travis to generate our
OS X dmg images. One solution would be to move to appveyor completely
(we're currently using it for CI windows builds). They offer Mac OS X
images, but only a limited set, so we would not be able to put out
"legacy" images for older OS X versions any more. On the other hand, it
would be nice to have all builds on one platform.
This situation is quite frustrating, especially since Przemysław spend a
lot of work on those travis OS X build automations.
As a sidenote: The travis-ci.org OS X jobs are also giving me some
trouble at the time (they're running more then 50 minutes and are
therefore killed by travis), so it could be that we also can't build the
images for the 1.0.2 release on travis :-/
Best regards,
Sebastian
