Travis CI no longer triggers

[Bram Moolenaar]

The last patch to have been run on Travis is 8.2.2966. Since then it
looks like this CI is no longer picking up patches. Anyone knows why?

Travis CI gives 10000 free credits to OSS projects. This is not a
monthly/yearly amount, it's a one-time donation. Once the credits run
out, you have to pay, or email Travis and ask for an additional one-time
donation that starts the cycle anew.

I'm familiar with some organizations maintaining OSS software that have
emailed Travis to ask for credits and have waited months to get a
response. Most of them gave up and migrated to alternative CI
solutions, usually GitHub Actions.

You can check the amount of used and remaining credits after logging in
to travis-ci.com:

- https://travis-ci.com/account/plan/usage (for personal projects)
- https://travis-ci.com/organizations/ORGANIZATION/plan/usage (for
GitHub organizations)

Yes, looks like we have no more credits available. That info page was
nor really helpful, I couldn't manage to receive any statistics, not
sure what is wrong with that. I think we have only used it for s390 and
arm64 builds, not sure if there are alternatives for this architecture.

derselbe und fragt, wo die Kiste ausgeschaltet wird.

Oh, I just noticed this also affects the appimage. So we don't have an
automatic appimage anymore. *grml*
