I'll just wait until you guys decide on a way forward and iff the offer we have is required. Perhaps the Github actions could be extended to build the 2.9 branch?
If that were possible, maybe the VM here does the RTAI build?

See the list of builds on the right. https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:bone11111:branches:science:EtherLab Rod Webster *1300 896 832* +61 435 765 611 Vehicle Modifications Network www.vehiclemods.net.au On Tue, 15 Nov 2022 at 09:21, Bari <bari00...@gmail.com> wrote: > On 11/14/22 15:54, Sebastian Kuzminsky wrote: > > > > > The difficulty with building and testing LinuxCNC in docker containers > > or in off-the-shelf VMs (as in Github Actions) is that our 'RTAI' > > configuration needs a special kernel, and needs to load and unload > > kernel modules to run & test LinuxCNC. > > > > (Unlike RTAI, the 'uspace' config *can* be built and tested in docker > > containers, though we don't currently do that in our Github Actions. > > The LinuxCNC/mesaflash project builds in docker in Github Actions, and > > I agree, it's great and super convenient.) > > > > In order to support testing LinuxCNC on RTAI the buildbot uses custom > > VMs which i created a long time ago and maintain poorly.
