* [PATCH v10a 3/3] ci: Make CI workflow as opt-in as possible
@ 2026-06-04 01:03  Andres Freund <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 97+ messages in thread

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-06-04 01:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

While workflows in new forks are disabled by default, existing forks that pull
new changes into the repository will automatically start running CI. That may
not be desired. There however is no way native to Actions to prevent this.

This commit changes it so that each repository that wants real CI to run needs
to explicitly opt into doing so, by creating the 'PG_CI_ENABLED' repository
variable with the value 1.

To make that less confusing, emit a summary whenever we skip running CI, with
a message explaining how to enable CI.

* [PATCH v10a 3/3] ci: Make CI workflow as opt-in as possible
@ 2026-06-04 01:03  Andres Freund <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 97+ messages in thread

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-06-04 01:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

While workflows in new forks are disabled by default, existing forks that pull
new changes into the repository will automatically start running CI. That may
not be desired. There however is no way native to Actions to prevent this.

This commit changes it so that each repository that wants real CI to run needs
to explicitly opt into doing so, by creating the 'PG_CI_ENABLED' repository
variable with the value 1.

To make that less confusing, emit a summary whenever we skip running CI, with
a message explaining how to enable CI.

* [PATCH v10a 3/3] ci: Make CI workflow as opt-in as possible

While workflows in new forks are disabled by default, existing forks that pull
new changes into the repository will automatically start running CI. That may
not be desired. There however is no way native to Actions to prevent this.

This commit changes it so that each repository that wants real CI to run needs
to explicitly opt into doing so, by creating the 'PG_CI_ENABLED' repository
variable with the value 1.

To make that less confusing, emit a summary whenever we skip running CI, with
a message explaining how to enable CI.

* [PATCH v10a 3/3] ci: Make CI workflow as opt-in as possible
@ 2026-06-04 01:03  Andres Freund <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 97+ messages in thread

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-06-04 01:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

While workflows in new forks are disabled by default, existing forks that pull
new changes into the repository will automatically start running CI. That may
not be desired. There however is no way native to Actions to prevent this.

This commit changes it so that each repository that wants real CI to run needs
to explicitly opt into doing so, by creating the 'PG_CI_ENABLED' repository
variable with the value 1.

To make that less confusing, emit a summary whenever we skip running CI, with
a message explaining how to enable CI.

* [PATCH v10a 3/3] ci: Make CI workflow as opt-in as possible

While workflows in new forks are disabled by default, existing forks that pull
new changes into the repository will automatically start running CI. That may
not be desired. There however is no way native to Actions to prevent this.

This commit changes it so that each repository that wants real CI to run needs
to explicitly opt into doing so, by creating the 'PG_CI_ENABLED' repository
variable with the value 1.

To make that less confusing, emit a summary whenever we skip running CI, with
a message explaining how to enable CI.

* [PATCH v10a 3/3] ci: Make CI workflow as opt-in as possible
@ 2026-06-04 01:03  Andres Freund <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 97+ messages in thread

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-06-04 01:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

While workflows in new forks are disabled by default, existing forks that pull
new changes into the repository will automatically start running CI. That may
not be desired. There however is no way native to Actions to prevent this.

This commit changes it so that each repository that wants real CI to run needs
to explicitly opt into doing so, by creating the 'PG_CI_ENABLED' repository
variable with the value 1.

To make that less confusing, emit a summary whenever we skip running CI, with
a message explaining how to enable CI.

* [PATCH v10a 3/3] ci: Make CI workflow as opt-in as possible

While workflows in new forks are disabled by default, existing forks that pull
new changes into the repository will automatically start running CI. That may
not be desired. There however is no way native to Actions to prevent this.

This commit changes it so that each repository that wants real CI to run needs
to explicitly opt into doing so, by creating the 'PG_CI_ENABLED' repository
variable with the value 1.

To make that less confusing, emit a summary whenever we skip running CI, with
a message explaining how to enable CI.

This commit changes it so that each repository that wants real CI to run needs
to explicitly opt into doing so, by creating the 'PG_CI_ENABLED' repository
variable with the value 1.

To make that less confusing, emit a summary whenever we skip running CI, with
a message explaining how to enable CI.

* [PATCH v10a 3/3] ci: Make CI workflow as opt-in as possible

While workflows in new forks are disabled by default, existing forks that pull
new changes into the repository will automatically start running CI. That may
not be desired. There however is no way native to Actions to prevent this.

This commit changes it so that each repository that wants real CI to run needs
to explicitly opt into doing so, by creating the 'PG_CI_ENABLED' repository
variable with the value 1.

To make that less confusing, emit a summary whenever we skip running CI, with
a message explaining how to enable CI.

* [PATCH v10a 3/3] ci: Make CI workflow as opt-in as possible

While workflows in new forks are disabled by default, existing forks that pull
new changes into the repository will automatically start running CI. That may
not be desired. There however is no way native to Actions to prevent this.

This commit changes it so that each repository that wants real CI to run needs
to explicitly opt into doing so, by creating the 'PG_CI_ENABLED' repository
variable with the value 1.

To make that less confusing, emit a summary whenever we skip running CI, with
a message explaining how to enable CI.

* [PATCH v10a 3/3] ci: Make CI workflow as opt-in as possible
@ 2026-06-04 01:03  Andres Freund <[email protected]>

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-06-04 01:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

While workflows in new forks are disabled by default, existing forks that pull
new changes into the repository will automatically start running CI. That may
not be desired. There however is no way native to Actions to prevent this.

This commit changes it so that each repository that wants real CI to run needs
to explicitly opt into doing so, by creating the 'PG_CI_ENABLED' repository
variable with the value 1.

To make that less confusing, emit a summary whenever we skip running CI, with
a message explaining how to enable CI.

* [PATCH v10a 3/3] ci: Make CI workflow as opt-in as possible

While workflows in new forks are disabled by default, existing forks that pull
new changes into the repository will automatically start running CI. That may
not be desired. There however is no way native to Actions to prevent this.

This commit changes it so that each repository that wants real CI to run needs
to explicitly opt into doing so, by creating the 'PG_CI_ENABLED' repository
variable with the value 1.

To make that less confusing, emit a summary whenever we skip running CI, with
a message explaining how to enable CI.

* [PATCH v10a 3/3] ci: Make CI workflow as opt-in as possible
@ 2026-06-04 01:03  Andres Freund <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 97+ messages in thread

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-06-04 01:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

While workflows in new forks are disabled by default, existing forks that pull
new changes into the repository will automatically start running CI. That may
not be desired. There however is no way native to Actions to prevent this.

This commit changes it so that each repository that wants real CI to run needs
to explicitly opt into doing so, by creating the 'PG_CI_ENABLED' repository
variable with the value 1.

To make that less confusing, emit a summary whenever we skip running CI, with
a message explaining how to enable CI.

* [PATCH v10a 3/3] ci: Make CI workflow as opt-in as possible

While workflows in new forks are disabled by default, existing forks that pull
new changes into the repository will automatically start running CI. That may
not be desired. There however is no way native to Actions to prevent this.

This commit changes it so that each repository that wants real CI to run needs
to explicitly opt into doing so, by creating the 'PG_CI_ENABLED' repository
variable with the value 1.

To make that less confusing, emit a summary whenever we skip running CI, with
a message explaining how to enable CI.

* [PATCH v10a 3/3] ci: Make CI workflow as opt-in as possible
@ 2026-06-04 01:03  Andres Freund <[email protected]>
  0 siblings, 0 replies; 97+ messages in thread

From: Andres Freund @ 2026-06-04 01:03 UTC (permalink / raw)

While workflows in new forks are disabled by default, existing forks that pull
new changes into the repository will automatically start running CI. That may
not be desired. There however is no way native to Actions to prevent this.

This commit changes it so that each repository that wants real CI to run needs
to explicitly opt into doing so, by creating the 'PG_CI_ENABLED' repository
variable with the value 1.

To make that less confusing, emit a summary whenever we skip running CI, with
a message explaining how to enable CI.

* [PATCH v10a 3/3] ci: Make CI workflow as opt-in as possible

While workflows in new forks are disabled by default, existing forks that pull
new changes into the repository will automatically start running CI. That may
not be desired. There however is no way native to Actions to prevent this.

This commit changes it so that each repository that wants real CI to run needs
to explicitly opt into doing so, by creating the 'PG_CI_ENABLED' repository
variable with the value 1.

To make that less confusing, emit a summary whenever we skip running CI, with
a message explaining how to enable CI.

* [PATCH v10a 3/3] ci: Make CI workflow as opt-in as possible

While workflows in new forks are disabled by default, existing forks that pull
new changes into the repository will automatically start running CI. That may
not be desired. There however is no way native to Actions to prevent this.

This commit changes it so that each repository that wants real CI to run needs
to explicitly opt into doing so, by creating the 'PG_CI_ENABLED' repository
variable with the value 1.

To make that less confusing, emit a summary whenever we skip running CI, with
a message explaining how to enable CI.

* [PATCH v10a 3/3] ci: Make CI workflow as opt-in as possible

While workflows in new forks are disabled by default, existing forks that pull
new changes into the repository will automatically start running CI. That may
not be desired. There however is no way native to Actions to prevent this.

This commit changes it so that each repository that wants real CI to run needs
to explicitly opt into doing so, by creating the 'PG_CI_ENABLED' repository
variable with the value 1.

To make that less confusing, emit a summary whenever we skip running CI, with
a message explaining how to enable CI.

* [PATCH v10a 3/3] ci: Make CI workflow as opt-in as possible

While workflows in new forks are disabled by default, existing forks that pull
new changes into the repository will automatically start running CI. That may
not be desired. There however is no way native to Actions to prevent this.

This commit changes it so that each repository that wants real CI to run needs
to explicitly opt into doing so, by creating the 'PG_CI_ENABLED' repository
variable with the value 1.

To make that less confusing, emit a summary whenever we skip running CI, with
a message explaining how to enable CI.
