Alright guys,

We have a workaround for automated builds (until Github decides to enable Github Actions again) and it's going to continue (unless Github finds a way to disable that)

All your config builds (User Builds) will be created as it is.

Enjoy!

Hi Everyone,

Sad news!

Looks like, the automated builds have come to halt until further notice.

Apparently, after release, due to long running workflow, Github decided to flag the account as it went on to execute for 9 hours while building user and elite builds.

I will try reaching github support to get some assistance but looking at the history of response on the issues, the chances of this getting resolved are very thin.

In the meantime, if anyone has any bright ideas to circumvent this issue - please feel free to share it - @NikGappsGroup

Thank you, and apologies for the inconvenience.

Hi Everyone,

The issue with sourceforge denying the request still persists which is the reason why you are not getting your builds in 30 mins.
To circumvent the issue, we've implemented uploading the files to an alternate file hosting website and the download link of your user builds can be found here.

This is only applicable to regular builds and not the elite builds. We're working with sourceforge support to resolve the issue in the meantime, if the issue takes longer to resolve, we will permanently switch to alternate option.

If you are aware of any alternate option, feel free to leave your recommendations.

Thanks for choosing NikGapps!

Those of you waiting for your custom/user build - there is an issue with sourceforge.net servers which is preventing the file upload.

Keep calm and wait until the issue is resolved.

You will find the download link here once the issue is resolved.
