Hey @PallHaraldsson , Thanks for submitting the PR All tests are already queued to run once. If tests fail, you can trigger one or more tests again with the following commands:

  • To trigger all jobs: @mxnet-bot run ci [all]
  • To trigger specific jobs: @mxnet-bot run ci [job1, job2]

CI supported jobs: [windows-gpu, clang, edge, website, centos-cpu, miscellaneous, unix-gpu, sanity, windows-cpu, unix-cpu, centos-gpu]


Note: Only following 3 categories can trigger CI :PR Author, MXNet Committer, Jenkins Admin. All CI tests must pass before the PR can be merged.

I noticed julia directory gone (on master because a link to here stopped working) and took a while to track down why.

Am I mistaken, then DO NOT merge. Julia is in 1.9.x but not 2.x which isn't released yet.

I finally found: "remove scala, R, julia, perl bindings" in June commit from last year: https://github.com/apache/incubator-mxnet/commit/2fbec60e0da8832d71f7e3f93d4407dbca745e51

I do see some other Julia related commits, if I recall after that one, so it's possible I misunderstand, and even if not, you may want to postpone merging until 2.0 is released or change text to reflect support in older version of MXNET.

[It doesn't seem to bad for Julia, I was intrigued about MXNET support for Julia at the time (and for TensorFlow), and when merged by Apache. Still curious what the meaning of this is, why support dropped, it might affect the other languages more since Julia has its own Julia-only ML ecosystem by now.]
