Description

See this discussion: https://irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2018-05-16#i_16170437

Basically, if shareable goes down then this is not available: https://whateverable.6lang.org/HEAD.tar.gz

Doc repo is using these to bypass rakudo compilation step, so travis is red when that happens.

Research direction

Start with the linked IRC discussion and the HEAD.tar.gz endpoint, then trace how shareable and the documentation repository's Travis job depend on it. Done means HEAD builds remain available when shareable is down and Travis no longer goes red because that archive is unavailable.
