Alternatively we could apply for (recurring) Travis-CI credits for our
OSS project:
This might be the easiest way to mitigate this for now.
>From the Travis CI article:
* We will be offering an allotment of OSS minutes that will be
reviewed and allocated on a case by case basis. Should you want to
apply for these credits please open a request with Travis CI support
stating that you’d like to be considered for the OSS allotment.
Please include:
* Your account name and VCS provider (like travis-
ci.com/github/[your account name] )
* How many credits (build minutes) you’d like to request (should
your run out of credits again you can repeat the process to
request more or discuss a renewable amount)
