No, but then again the poor little server is so constrained on resources at the moment, I'll be wanting to move to a new provider (replacing the single server with four) before such a thing happens.

I've had to add more swap because CI builds for mips, ppc and sparc started failing due to hitting the oomkiller.

Donating for the upkeep of our infrastructure is also welcome. ;-)

How to do this?

This might be worthwhile. It is highly likely that when GDC is in GCC it will become the default D compiler in Red Hat Enterprise Linux (while real support in RHEL even maybe), other Linux distros like SUSE and even that we'll use it as the default D compiler in Debian, due to GCC being the default system compiler with strong optimizations and very good support for multiple architectures (not sure yet though, since LDC works well as well when it's not hit by the (suprisingly frequent) LLVM bugs).

So, in any case, GDC in GCC is *huge* and there is a high chance that people will come in contact with D through it first.
When it's in, I can try to get GDC a few more machines for CI (I can't promise anything at the moment, unfortunately).

Thanks, Ali.

I guess in this case people might want to send an email what it's for, although it becomes a nuisance if everyone attaches strings to everything.  It's very easy to set up a recurring donation btw.

We should be able to help. Please email me details. Thanks! -- Andrei
