Izzy on Nostr: Seems like the question of #GitHub becoming fully unusable is not "if", but rather ...
Seems like the question of #GitHub becoming fully unusable is not "if", but rather "when". We feel the issues now for the 5th month, and it's getting worse by the day. Today, out of 13 builds, 12 failed – either because of stalling when cloning the repo from GitHub or one of the submodules, or some other GitHub error message. Some builds we had to run 8 times to finally pass (and some of those only to find out their recipe needs adjustments, as e.g. the upstream APK was not built from the tag)…
