Hello all. I hope this finds you well. Below you can find a digest of the CI infrastructure improvements since the previous update.
Recently Digital Ocean became one of the sponsors for The Tcpdump Group CI infrastructure. Digital Ocean has the "Open Source Credits" program [1], which allows qualifying FOSS projects to use their services free of charge, subject to a yearly limit. At the time of this writing the four AMD64 Buildbot worker VMs (freebsd-amd64, linux-amd64, netbsd-amd64, openbsd-amd64) are running on Digital Ocean. This is a good example of giving back to the community, thank you very much! OSU OSL folks have introduced Power10 hardware into their infrastructure, they have recently migrated the linux-ppc64le VM to a Power10 host. The new VM runs Debian 12, which has upgraded GCC from 8.3 to 12.2, Clang from 7.0 to 16.0 and XL C from 16.1 to 17.1. They also upgraded Debian from 10 to 12 in the Docker container that runs linux-s390x, which have simplified its maintenance a lot. Thank you! The Raspberry Pi 5 host co-located by UK Dedicated Servers (see the February-May CI news) started to run freebsd-aarch64 and linux-aarch64, at the time of this writing it is running all four AArch64 Buildbot worker VMs. linux-aarch64 has been changed from AlmaLinux 9.4 to Alpine Linux 3.20, which upgraded GCC from 11.4 to 13.2. Most importantly, this change has introduced musl libc (version 1.2.5) into the CI, which is going to make it simpler to maintain compatibility with this variety of libc. The openbsd-mips64 rig (also co-located by UK Dedicated Servers) has been repaired and reinstalled after an SSD fault and seems to run OK. On all OpenBSD worker hosts Clang has been upgraded from 16.0 to 17.0. On netbsd-aarch64 and netbsd-mips64 pkgsrc has been upgraded from 2024Q2 to 2024Q3, which among other things upgraded GCC from 13.3 to 14.2 and Clang from 17.0 to 18.1 on netbsd-aarch64.
