[ruby-core:103878] [Ruby master Misc#17818] Reviving Travis CI

Issue #17818 has been updated by jaruga (Jun Aruga).


Let me share the current status and the plan for ruby/ruby's Travis.

> As a side note from my experience, the concept of the credits might be no=
t considered on travis-ci.org. =


The travis-ci.org shut down will occur on May 31, 2021. So, there is no opt=
ion to use travis-ci.org any more.

We got 25,000 credits from the above OSS subscription. However as I wrote a=
bove, we consume 10 credits per build on Linux, that means. If a job takes =
17 minutes 30 seconds, it takes 10 * 18 =3D 180 credits for one job. It's m=
uch more than I expected. I misunderstood it was 10 credits per build witho=
ut minutes. So, I plan to not use only free builds without credits on Travi=
s.


The current plan is to create the Ubuntu focal (20.04) CI cases for each CP=
U architecture.

* i686 (x86 variant): Run on GitHub. The example: https://github.com/junaru=
ga/ci-multi-arch-native-test/blob/master/.github/workflows/build.yml .
* arm64/ppc64le/s390x
=A0 Based on this PR.
=A0 * Try Focal i386 packages for building i686-linux ruby
=A0 =A0 https://github.com/ruby/ruby/pull/3173

Related to #17720, chatting with @naruse and @hsbt in Ruby project, I thoug=
ht it is better to revive Travis that had been deleted at the commit [1] at=
 first before trying Cirrus CI, the new thing, even though we only might be=
 able to use Travis for a short time. Because it's safe to try the Cirrus C=
I new thing, keeping the Travis non-x86_64 pull-request checks. I am also c=
urious to know how Travis replies to us.

I got the following information about Travis OSS subscription from @naruse,=
 and the following criteria: "Project must not be sponsored by a commercial=
 company or organization." made us wonder if the Ruby project is qualified =
for criteria.

n%E3%81%AE%E7%94%B3%E3%81%97%E8%BE%BC%E3%81%BF

To qualify for an Open Source Software (OSS) subscription,
  * ...
  * Project must not be sponsored by a commercial company or organization.
  * ...
```

So, I am asking a question to Travis. and this Ruby issue ticket's goal is =
to revive entire Travis or at least the non-x86_64 cases, and I also want t=
o share the communication log between Travis and us. Because the log looks =
useful for other open source projects too.

Here is the ticket URL in Travis. I don't think it is a public page. But I =
just share it for the record. I also would attach the screen shot image.

Subject: Can the Ruby project enable Travis by OSS subscription?

Hello Travis support,

I am working in the Ruby project (https://github.com/ruby). May I ask you q=
uestions about the OSS subscription program?

We saw Travis OSS subscription includes the "Project must not be sponsored =
by a commercial company or organization."
These criteria made us hesitate to contact you. Because some of the members=
 in the Ruby project are sponsored.

n%E3%81%AE%E7%94%B3%E3%81%97%E8%BE%BC%E3%81%BF

To qualify for an Open Source Software (OSS) subscription,
  * ...
  * Project must not be sponsored by a commercial company or organization.
  * ...

However now we think the criteria is applied for

Case 1: An open source project is used directly for a company's product, th=
en it gives the profit to the company.

But the criteria might not be applied for the following cases. Because in t=
hese cases, the open source project does not produce the profit directly. T=
he open source project is neutral.
I think the Ruby project is the case 2.

Case 2: An open source project is co-created beyond an organization.
  * A person is sponsored, because a open source project's library is essen=
tial for a company's product.
    * The company sponsors someone because the company wants someone to mai=
ntain the library.
  * A person is sponsored, because a company using the library is given the=
 benefit by a library.
    The company hires someone to give a return to the open source project b=
y just a give and take mind.
  * A company hires a full time committer for a popular open source project.
    Because the person could be a role model in the company, and the fact t=
hat a committer working in the company is used as an advertisement to hire =
other people.

I think Travis non x86_64 resources are sponsored by IBM and ARM because I =
assume IBM and ARM want to thrive in their CPU architecture's ecosystem.
I think they want to enable popular open source projects on their Travis pi=
pelines.

So, is it possible to enable Travis or at least to enable IBM (ppc64le, s39=
0x) and ARM (arm64) for all the repositories under the Ruby (https://github=
.com/ruby/*) with unlimited?

Thank you.
