All,
I spent a couple of hours working with the Infra structure team on the build
problems we've been
experiencing. They were really helpful in isolating the problem and effecting
a solution. Joes2
(IRC handle on #asfinfra) was the main contact point.
The problem is that people.apache.org has a limit of 10 concurrent connections
on it. The
expectation was that Maven would only be using a single connection but that
appears to not be the
case. The Infrastructure team has temporarily lifted the restriction while the
Maven team looks
into the issue.
For our part I tested a full build with a clean repo and it only failed once
(and that was an
ibiblio problem). At this point I think we should have smoother sailing.
Next time you see an Infra guy/gal buy them a beer or two. They're awesome to
work with. From the
time we started talking to the time it was resolved was a little under two
hours.
So you not only have your build process tied to apache infrastructure
in a non-scalable way, but you are essentially doing a DoS attack
against the infrastructure every time you build. Great.
