"Trigger build workflows for active pull requests" workflow is constantly failing; delete it? #141

Closed jwodder closed 1 year ago

jwodder commented 1 year ago

Almost every run of the Trigger build workflows for active pull requests for the past two days has failed because of a request to GitHub returning 502. While we could add in request retrying in an attempt to work around this, I would prefer to get rid of the workflow entirely. The only purpose of the workflow is to run PRs made against the mirror in upstream/master rather than against master, but there's no need to make such PRs now that we have the patches/ directory. For months now, the only times this workflow has done anything is when it's failed, and it's clearly outlived its usefulness.

oh, I didn't even know that we had such functionality indeed, and remembered only about patches/ approach which even though "more tedious" - but it is persistent in that then if merged those patches could be used, unlike the just "let's try" approach through PRs to upstream/master. I am ok to delete it . If we decide to reincarnate for some reason -- we know where to find it.
