Drone build for PRs is hanging

[gittiver]

Hi,

the drone build used as check on PR's seems to hang.
See this Pul Request: #580

I've been trying to figure out what's going wrong with this for a while now, I have no idea what's causing it...

[gittiver]

what about using GitHub actions for building, testing and generating gh pages?

[The-EDev]

I've looked at actions when travis changed their structure. I ultimately decided against it because of the point system and it being a closed source system that cannot be self hosted.

I've been looking into hosting drone myself, and I think it's doable. the only disadvantage is that ARM testing will have to be dropped for the time being I believe.

drone.io is also changing into an at least only open core model. gh actions means always running checks without efforts to maintain the CI itself.
I mean, there is a simple, small PR which seems blocked, because of not running checks/ problems with drone.
The actions could be activated by a few configuration files and bam, there would be a proof that a changed PR is working.

I could provide adapted action for building in a PR, should I?

@gittiver Thanks a lot for adding github actions support to Crow! I'm guessing this issue should be closed now. Please let me know if it needs to stay open.

No, can be closed. Only Windows build is not yet supported on GitHub actions. but this is a separate issue.
