Hello, Josh from Travis CI here.

We are happy to announce that you can now run open source projects on travis-ci.com. At the moment you can only add and activate repositories which haven't been tested on travis-ci.org. We are hard at work to add a way for you to migrate your projects from travis-ci.org to travis-ci.com, and should have more information to share on this soon.

If you have any questions I would be happy to help answer them here, or you can email our team at support@travis-ci.com

Thanks Josh! I've received your email announcing this move but honestly I didn't understand at first - I had to read the blog post to understand what that meant.

It makes sense that you wanted to maintain a single platform instead of two. The only worry that I have is the following.

At work we are using private repositories on travis-ci.com, but we've noticed some noticeable downtimes over the past year, whereas my open source repositories, including a popular one, which run on travis-ci.org, have their build processes actually way faster and more reliable (I actually haven't noticed any significant downtimes).

I don't know if it's just an impression that I have or if it's something that more people have noticed. I really hope that merging the two platforms will let you provide an even better for both pro and open source users.

Thank you for Travis - many open source projects would be worst without it.

Thanks for the feedback. I'm sorry for the downtime issues you have experienced lately. I'll follow up with the team on this to understand some of the affected your projects.

This single platform change will allow us to better focus on speed improvements for all users.

Thank you for using and trusting us :)

Perhaps it's still not decided, but are you going to move all the build history from travic-ci.org to travis-ci.com? Can you add an automatic redirect from the old URL to the new URL?

I have a few links that say "... an it's good enough to pass all the test in Travis CI", "... but it fails miserably in the test in Travis CI".

That is the plan, move and redirect. That work is in the works. We will have more blog post on this soon :)

As for the links, can you send more info to support@travis-ci.com and we can look into this.

I was not clear. The link is ok, travis is ok, the code in my commit is wrong :).

Hey Josh,

This is unrelated, but since you're here: any chance of Travis rolling out newer versions of Ubuntu?

We use Travis to test Kubernetes apps with minikube, which will stop being possible soon when minikube stops supporting systems that don't run systemd/journalctl[0].

Thanks for the ping about this. Could you email support@travis-ci.com and we can look into this for you. Feel free to also mention that we chatted here.

This is a weird thing to say, surely you already have enough information to look into the problem. At least you were gracious enough to let them mention the chat though.

Not for me to say, but I suspect the issue is more that they want an internal ticket to ensure the issue doesn't get forgotten. Asking for an email will mean that it goes through their normal support channels. FWIW, I've gotten really good service asking about edge cases like this in the past.

Hey Josh,

An unrelated request: We’ve been waiting for a response to https://github.com/travis-ci/apt-package-whitelist/issues/19... for almost 2.5 years now, and no human ever looked at it. Is there anything we missed? Anywhere we should’ve also registered this request?

Thanks

I'm sorry for this long wait, this needs to be addressed. I'd love to find the right person to look into this, if you can email support and mention me (Josh) I can see if we can provide you an answer to this.

Thanks for Travis.

It's great and it's is really useful, at least for our open sources project.

Thanks for using and trusting us :)

This is somewhat related, but you mention the transition to GitHub Apps in your blog post. For those of us already using Travis via GitHub Services, what's the right way to transition to GitHub Apps?

When you go to your settings you can 'activate and migrate' your user account or organization accounts to GitHub Apps. We will switch your service hooks to GitHub App service hooks in the process. Our support team is also more than happy to help :) support@travis-ci.com

Hey Josh, biggest issue I run into is not being able to CI forks of projects, any chance this could work in future?

This should work, if you email support@travis-ci.com we can look into it for you.

Don't fork via github and just push the code to a new repo and you can add CI to that.

Edit: Or maybe that's the workaround for coverity-scan, I don't remember.

Is there any difference between the two services now? Or are they going to be merged under a single domain?
