AFAICT, there is no support for AppVeyor Linux builds. Any reason behind that?
I think AppVeyor Linux could be a useful alternative or complementary Linux-based service. Especially that Travis CI for boostorg are is permanently unresponsive due to long running builds of certain, if not most, Boost libraries.

I'm not trying to imply or state that this is something that must be used everywhere. It's been tremendously helpful and is being used on 20+ boost repositories already. Therefore I think it should be pulled into boostorg as the "owner". Apart from that: What would AppVeyor provide that Travis does not, other than the timeout issue? I agree, I've seen what you are talking about with the timeouts. I would say any build that takes over 50 minutes is too long and should be broken up or optimized or simplified somehow anyway. Also, AppVeyor has some deficiencies: - In AppVeyor I get one concurrent job. In Travis I get 5. - In AppVeyor I cannot restart an individual job that is part of a suite of builds in a PR. In Travis I can. - Jim
