 proletarius101 | So we are really not considering applying for the GitLab open source program: https://about.gitlab.com/solutions/open-source/join/? We are literally one form away and it ease the pipeline time limit stress | 09:10:54 |
| proletarius101 | The GitLab for Open Source license provides the additional ability to use top tier group-level features (e.g. Epics, Roadmap). It also allows projects to have 50,000 CI minutes per month for free. | 09:12:08 |
 _hc | proletarius101: you could apply for it, as long as it doesn't disrupt any existing things. I have no time to look into it, and things seem to be working | 13:38:08 |
| _hc | also, well, now that I think about it, its the proprietary parts. We don't want to use the proprietary parts | 13:38:57 |

| _hc | are you sure? it used to be | 13:39:28 |
| proletarius101 | At least the checks and pipelines are fully open-source and free | 13:39:30 |
| proletarius101 | and the EE part are open-source but not free | 13:39:40 |
| _hc | right, we don't want to use EE since its not free software | 13:39:58 |
| proletarius101 | Sure | 13:40:13 |
| proletarius101 | That means we don't use the EE fetures | 13:40:24 |
| proletarius101 | But it doesn't matter if we just use more pipeline time... | 13:40:36 |
| proletarius101 | And the FOSS checkers | 13:40:47 |
| proletarius101 | Such that we don't depend on any non-free part of it | 13:41:30 |
| _hc | we have our own runners anyway, so I don't think the fdroid group runs out of minutes | 13:43:29 |
| _hc | I think they've also grandfathered us in and give us more minutes | 13:43:49 |
| _hc | but that's just a guess | 13:43:55 |
| proletarius101 | Well, i just see you said we are run out of minutes: https://gitlab.com/fdroid/fdroidclient/-/merge_requests/988#note_524417700 | 13:45:21 |
| proletarius101 | But if we don't than that's not necessary. The checkers could be just turn on in the free tier | 13:45:50 |

| _hc | right, that job is a big increase in usage. Its realy more that it takes a while | 14:05:08 |
| _hc | I mean takes a lot of our runner time | 14:05:45 |
| _hc | that's more limited since they provide KVM and lots of RAM and CPU | 14:05:49 |
| _hc | much more than the gitlab.com runners | 14:05:53 |
| _hc | if you want to run our gitlab-runners, that's perhaps a better way to increase the amount of available runner time | 14:06:22 |
| _hc | do you know ansible? | 14:06:57 |
| proletarius101 | In reply to @eighthave:matrix.org
do you know ansible? Yeah, although not an expert | 14:35:07 |
| proletarius101 | In reply to @eighthave:matrix.org
I mean takes a lot of our runner time Do we really need to use our own runner in the test stage? Sounds cost a lot for the project? | 14:37:31 |
| proletarius101 | In reply to @eighthave:matrix.org
that's more limited since they provide KVM and lots of RAM and CPU I think only the emulator test should be run on the local machine which requires kvm | 14:39:52 |
