[Scons-dev] Progress blockers

[Russel Winder]

The current SCons workflow assumes that each developer has access to all
platforms for testing prior to creating a pull request and/or
committing. We need to set up a CI service that can be used to test any
submitted request on all major platforms.

So, I am working on D support but in a fork because there are breakages
on certain platforms that I have no access to. Catch-22: the stuff
cannot get merged in to the mainline because it cannot be tested and it
cannot be tested because it cannot be merged in to the mainline. Without
a multi-platform team effort this means nothing can ever get merged into
the mainline. Thus progress is halted. Hence lack of enthusiasm for
doing any work on SCons core.

There must be some SCons user organizations out there who can contribute
back to SCons development by offering CI build resources?
