I have not heard of Drone and have not seen any discussion wrt integrating it into Boost. Any suggestions, clarifications if the request should be merged? Tnx.
Well, that's up to every author. No one is forcing libraries to use the C++ Alliance Drone CI instance. And if you do accept the pull request, there is no requirement to stop using your other CI integrations. In other words there is only benefit, with no cost (except that if you decide you no longer want the integration, you have to revert the commit). The C++ Alliance as part of its mission to contribute to the health of C++ through open source, has undertaken a project to build its own hosted CI system as an alternative to Travis which is longer usable for Boost in a practical sense. The benefit of our solution is we can scale up the hardware and make sure it is dedicated only to Boost. It doesn't have to be exclusive - we are also working on submitting Github Actions integrations for all Boost repositories. Sam Darwin can answer specific questions, he is in charge of the integration. Thanks
