I have been doing some amount of Continuous Integration work lately; that's certainly one of the popular things these days. It has been changing; once upon a time, our folks at work adopted QuickBuild, which still periodically helps us to run out of disk space ;-) More recently, Jenkins and and Travis CI grew popular particularly in Linux-based environments. The latest and greatest is that GitHub and GitLab have "CI" offerings allowing you to write voluminous amounts of YAML that tend to deploy Docker and/or Kubernetes components to set up test environments. Then came today's Link of Interest... (Sourced from Leah Kirchen's blog; see https://leahneukirchen.org/trivium/2020-07-12 ) https://laminar.ohwg.net/docs.html Laminar tries to do CI somewhat simpler, and in more of a "Unix flavour", rather than filling up on XML and YAML remappings of stuff. Unlike a lot of these CI tools, it tries NOT to keep infinite gobs of artifacts around, which probably makes it less popular with disk manufacturers ;-) -- When confronted by a difficult problem, solve it by reducing it to the question, "How would the Lone Ranger handle this?"
