Matthias Pohl commented on FLINK-30965:
---------------------------------------
[~chesnay] I still don't understand why the build is retriggered if there's no
new commit sync'd to the {{flink-mirror}} repo. Is there some build pipeline
configuration that triggers the nightly? The YAML config in the code looks like
we're only running {{master}} even if there's no change pushed in the meantime
(see
[tools/azure-pipelines/build-apache-repo.yml|https://github.com/apache/flink/blob/573ed922346c791760d27653543c2b8df56f51f7/tools/azure-pipelines/build-apache-repo.yml#L32]).
May you have a look at the repo-sync script change? I'm wondering whether
ignoring the oldest release branch was intentionally done in the past or just
missed.

> I noticed that we're always synchronizing the most-recent release branches
> (see
> [flink-ci/git-repo-sync:git-repo-synch:27|https://github.com/flink-ci/git-repo-sync/blob/7c0c2ed4b8f1cdf343e75021ca89e9dcc9421b93/sync_repo.sh#L27]).
> That means that we stop running CI on the Flink version that is soon to be
> deprecated after a new release branch is cut, e.g.: 1.16 & 1.15 are supported
> and we cut {{release-1.17}} to start the release process for 1.17. From this
> point onwards, we are synchronizing 1.17 and 1.16 but skip 1.15 eventhough
> 1.15 is still supported.
