Hi everyone, this is a major setback, especially as so much work was put into migrating to Snap CI (thanks to all working on that). However, the workflows, we developed can stay and be reused to reimplement the CI somewhere else. This issue can be solved following two avenues: a) Look for another free of charge service somewhere else which provides similar integration (e.g., Travis CI). However ,there is a risk that they close down or transform their services into paid services. b) Look for software which is simple and we can host on university infrastructure. This might be increasingly interesting as universities try to stack up systems for long-living data and software processes.
