| # Runs every day to check if Freenet's fred repository has changed. | |
| # If yes it runs the CI tests to see if the changes at fred broke anything at Freetalk. | |
| # If no it does nothing. | |
| # NOTICE: This only runs on xor-freenet's repository currently, see the comments below. | |
| name: CI cronjobs, daily | |
| # TODO: Code quality: Currently Freetalk only has branch "master" so the cronjobs only run there. | |
| # Once there's also a development branch run the cronjobs on both branches. | |

| name: Determine if fred branch next has changed | |
| # TODO: Once the tests are reasonably stable remove the "github.repository == ..." line so the | |
| # cronjob also runs on Freenet's GitHub repo and fred developers thus get an email if their | |
| # changes break Freetalk. | |
| # NOTICE: I think GHA currently disables cronjobs if a repo did not have changes for 60 days, | |
| # check if that is true. Then it may be necessary to move the cronjob to the fred repo because | |
| # the Freetalk repo on Freenet's GitHub is not that frequently updated. | |
