There's shiningpanda: this is what scikit-learn now uses (with travis-ci): https://jenkins.shiningpanda.com/scikit-learn/ It's quite flexible, but I think you are limited to only a couple of builds per day on master. It doesn't really replace travis, as travis is supposed to run against PR but it is better than nothing. Previously, scikit-learn used buildbot, hosted on one of the french python association. I've got access to the server, and I can ask the board members if we can set up a buildbot there. I'm sure that's not a problem. But, once again, this will run the tests on master, not on the PR. Last but not least, maybe we can see what numfocus has to offer. > > I know nothing about who offers such services, why they do so, or the > quality of the service. > > Eric > > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > Master Java SE, Java EE, Eclipse, Spring, Hibernate, JavaScript, jQuery > and much more.
