macOS builds having trouble at travis-ci.org?

macOS builds having trouble at travis-ci.org?

[Junio C Hamano]

Starting sometime yeserday, it appears that macOS builds of our
branches at travis-ci.org are having trouble in an undiagnosable
way.  All you see on their webpage is a helpful message "An error
occurred while generating the build script." and nothing else.

https://travis-ci.org/github/git/git/builds/665032524 was the first
such failed build of 'pu'.

Curiously, a job that was submitted later for an updated 'pu', which
was https://travis-ci.org/github/git/git/builds/665061157, did not
exhibit the symptom.  Anyway, that 1157 build was a one-off and
since then macOS builds are failing all branches consistently.

For now, I'll write macOS build at travis-ci off as not giving any
useful information and move on, but it would be nice to get it
corrected, and I am assuming that it is not something we did
recently.

Just FYI.

It might be a problem at the travis-ci infrastructure. They reported
an issue with macOS builds failing two days ago[1]. The issue is
marked as solved, but there are still some reports[2] from people
getting the same error message we are experiencing in git.git.

I knew we have folks who have wider antennae on these things than I
do ;-)

Thanks.  This means that we can just wait to see what happens at
least fo now ;-)
