Allow GitHub Pages on forks

[deadmeu]

I'm trying to test a small change but am unable to do so due to #725.

I figured I could just have GitHub Pages host it for me to test with, and the project's README provides steps for doing so, but the option is unavailable to me in my fork due to a policy issue:

Is this something that can be relaxed, to allow GitHub Pages to work on forks?

I wish I knew.. This is a mystery to me. The "upstream" https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit-project.github.io/settings/pages even has this:

Although that's blatantly bogus -- after all, https://cockpit-project.org/ is that very result from Pages..

A lot of people in our team also have forks -- e.g. https://github.com/martinpitt/cockpit-project.github.io is a fork which renders just fine to https://martinpitt.github.io/cockpit-project.github.io/blog/ . But my https://github.com/martinpitt/cockpit-project.github.io/settings/pages shows exactly the same error as your screenshot.

The fork is actually working for half of the people in our team, and not for the other half. I'm afraid so far we don't have the slightest idea what goes wrong.

As @martinpitt said, it's a mysterious bug that's not really accurate in GitHub's UI. Hopefully it'll work for you regardless of the message?

FWIW: I just fixed that odd gem dependency error that hit our container scripts. Those should work again. Apologies for the delay. (BTW: This is the first time that a bug like that hit our container build method that I'm aware of. Normally it's rock solid for local development and testing.)
