You\ncan still try if you really want though.\n\n> If it's ok, I would like to take Git\n> CI Improvements 4 as my starting point. But the description on the website\n> shows less details so I wonder what am I supposed to do more specifically?\n\nIt looks like the CI improvements 4 is:\n\ninstall CVS on the build machines to run t94?? and t96?? tests\ninstall SVN on the build machines to run t91?? tests\ninstall Apache Web Server to run 5539, 5550, and 5561\n\nSo it seems to me that you should create a patch that changes:\n\nhttps://github.com/git/git/blob/master/.travis.yml\n\nso that the testing machines will have some software installed that is\nrequired to run some tests.\n\nSee:\n\ne7e9f5e7a1 (travis-ci: enable Git SVN tests t91xx on Linux, 2016-05-19), and\n\nhttps://public-inbox.org/git/20180305200400.3769-1-sidm1999@gmail.com/\n\nfor example.\n\n> Reporting the results or trying to figure out the how and why those results\n> come out independently?
