After closer inspection it seems the NoX11 had deploy false and that is why 
OSX had nothing to sync. I am rather shocked this has only been an issue 
now. Short term solution is I created an "All" for osx that still disables 
X11. Long term solution is likely platform specific variations support. I now 
have this on my TO-DO list. I am taking a moment out of my vacation to 
babysit this osx builder for a few hours and hopefully we can get a green 
kf5..

I agree with everyone that OSX is a huge pain, and I certainly don't enjoy 
babysitting it . I also do not enjoy the fear to take a vacation because I am 
going to come back to chaos due to OSX. But such is life, and I loathe the 
thought of supporting two separate CI's even more, and I will not do that, 
sorry.
Cheers,
Scarlett
