Rethinking CI?

(I posted this topic on the MySQL Ruby binding mysql2: brianmario/mysql2#1149 .)

Do you know the Travis following announcements about their changes?

The upcoming pricing change will affect those of you who are:
Building on a public repositories only

When I am running ruby-pg Travis CI on my forked repository now, it is very slow now. It takes time to even start. You can see the log.

I see the Ruby project recently migrated the most cases to GitHub Actions remaining a few non-x86_64 jobs in Travis.
https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/f3c19ddfbcfde63505a34b7a5b3a640f23b22dc0/.travis.yml#L199-L204

So, what do you think about migrating our CI from Travis to GitHub Actions or an alternative CI?

https://travis-ci.org is slow these days and deprecated long time ago. But https://travis-ci.com is fast as ever. I migrated a bunch of projects from .org to .com and it worked flawlessly with a single click. I didn't request any OSS support as offered in the anouncement, but I'm confident that they won't deny.

On the other hand I don't have any issues with Github actions. It's just that it needs some effort to implement it there.

Last but not least both options (travis-ci.com and Github actions) must be done by @ged, since he's the project owner.

@larskanis I saw your PR about starting GitHub Actions. Thanks!

OK. Let's wait the response from @ged.

I'd be into moving things into Github. What do I need to do?

[junaruga]

@ged OK. I think we need to do some things.

1. First maybe you can enable the GitHub Actions by checking this repo's Actions tab.
2. Then we need to review Add Github Actions for tests of source gem and binary gems #374 including .github/workflows/*.yml file.
3. Then we might be able to migrate other cases in the current CIs into GitHub Actions too. I think the good examples might be rspec-core and mysql2 gem's repositories.
