Since we have cirrus integration for freebsd/macos now, we ought todo the same for Windows too. I auto-generated the freebsd/mac logic with libvirt-ci, but I ignored msys since it was somewhat special in its build commands. We can still set it up manually though to integrate Regards, Daniel -- |: https://berrange.com -o- https://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange :| |: https://libvirt.org -o- https://fstop138.berrange.com :| |: https://entangle-photo.org -o- https://www.instagram.com/dberrange :|
