I don't see why not (at least once the bot is stable). Can you elaborate?

Otherwise having “project' bots” using a non-official mirror may sound like a strange situation to me. I agree it isn't ideal, but when/if LLVM moves to github it will be trivial to re-configure for the official repositories. I considered a number of other ways to setup Appveyor but I concluded this was the best/easiest way to do it. The other options I considered for configuring Appveyor are: (1) Use the official LLVM github mirrors. This has the issue of requiring the implementation of custom Git webhooks, which would require modifying and maintaining changes to the existing LLVM Git infrastructure, which in itself would require getting access to the LLVM servers to make the changes. (2) Setup my own ever more unofficial github mirror This has all the same problems as using the existing github mirrors but it requires me to configure and maintain my own mirror, which is non-trivial. (3) Don't use Appveyor at all This requires finding Windows hardware to host the bots, which is the main reason I chose Appveyor to begin with. Even if hardware was available I would prefer using Appveyor since it provides more dominion over the environment than I think donated hardware could. /Eric — Mehdi On Apr 19, 2017, at 5:04 PM, Eric Fiselier via llvm-dev <_ _llvm-dev at lists.llvm.org> wrote: Adding cfe-dev list...

Hi Will,

I would like to request collaborator permissions for the Libc++ github mirror. I plan to use the access to setup Appveyor buildbots for libc++. In order to do this I need to be listed as a collaborator on Github. The alternative to Github access would be setting up the correct webhooks for llvm.org/git/libcxx.git, but this seems harder to both do and maintain. /Eric
