@lxo
Agreed that it is a giant waste of time and energy. Note that Anubis itself is free software. And that the javascript challenge is only presented to users pretending to run a Mozilla or Opera browser. Use w3m and you sail right through. Your idea of turning this into a Proof of Useful Work is interesting and @cadey may have some ideas?

We installed Anubis https://anubis.techaro.lol in front of Patchwork https://patchwork.sourceware.org and Bunsen https://builder.sourceware.org/testruns

We don't like to have to do this, but we have to do something to fight the recent wave of AI/LLM scraperbots. If this experiment works out we are also going to put Anubis in front of bugzilla, gitweb/cgit and the wikis.

Thanks @cadey who has helped us over the Easter weekend to set this up.

https://forge.sourceware.org has been upgraded to the @forgejo v9.0.3 security release.

All https://builder.sourceware.org buildbot workers should be up and running again. Happy (CI) building!

Some buildbots down tomorrow (Thu Dec 5 08:00 - 11:00 UTC)

A power connector upgrade will cause some of the buildbots to be down
tomorrow (Thu Dec 5) between 08:00 to 11:00 UTC.

This impacts the x86_64 container builders bb1-{1,2}, bb2-{1,2}, bb3, x3d1
and x3d2, the debian-i386 and debian-i386-2 workers and the
alma-x86_64 worker.

All other workers should still keep accept new jobs. If no alternative worker
is available new jobs will be queued to be picked up when the power
gets reconnected.

https://snapshots.sourceware.org is back up. Thanks @osuosl !

Fresh source snapshots of glibc, binutils and gdb are in the queue and will appear soon.

snapshots.sourceware.org is down. No ETA yet on when it comes back (it is an holiday in the datacenter).

Discussion topics:

The forge experiment. We launched https://forge.sourceware.org with a
Forgejo v9 setup. The whole setup/config can be found in
https://sourceware.org/cgit/forge

There is a mailinglist https://sourceware.org/mailman/listinfo/forge
And a wiki page https://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/ForgeExperiment

We'll give an overview of the current setup and how to evaluate it.

We are now rejecting any incoming emails that fail dmarc for domains that have a p=reject policy. Because if we forward such emails through mailinglists they will cause bounces for some subscribers (eventually causing those subscribers to be unsubscribed).

@pkal @pinskia We do indeed not provide support for that kind of public-inbox. Sorry. We do run an instance of https://public-inbox.org/README.html on https://inbox.sourceware.org which is for public (core toolchain and developer tools) project mailinglists.

Sourceware forge experiment.
https://forge.sourceware.org

As an experiment Sourceware is now running an @forgejo v9 instance.

The full setup can be found in this git repository:
https://sourceware.org/cgit/forge/

For now it is only open for existing maintainers/developers for
experimenting with a pull-request model.

There is also a new mailinglist for discussion about the setup and the
best way to create a pull-request workflow:
https://sourceware.org/mailman/listinfo/forge

Thanks to Marc Poulhiès, @thesamesam and @mjw there is now a GCC full languages (C, C++, Ada, D, Fortran, Go, Modula2, Objective-C, Objective-C++, Rust and LTO plus libjit) with --enable-checking=yes,extra,rtl CI builder for https://builder.sourceware.org

https://builder.sourceware.org/buildbot/#/builders/gcc-fullest-debian-amd64

It does a bootstrap and runs all testsuites in about 2 hours, every 3 hours. All test results end up in bunsen.

#GCC, #C, #C++, #Ada, #D #Fortran, #Go, #Modula2, #ObjectiveC, #ObjectiveC++, #Rust, #LTO, #libjit

Looking forward to the GNU Tools Cauldron in Cambridge at the end of this week.
