Package: jenkins.debian.org Severity: important Since I switched rebootstrap to salsa.d.o, I see an annoying failure pattern: * Jenkins queries salsa's git service. * Salsa replies "Retry later", which is salsa's way to rate limit clients. * Jenkins marks the job es failed temporarily and immediately runs the next one. * Since jenkins did not back off in any way, it provokes the very same failure from salsa.d.o * This repeats pattern repeats and leads to a rapid failure of pending jobs flooding irc and mail recipients.
I asked #alioth about exempting jenkins from the rate limiting, but formorer said that he wouldn't know how to do it. I guess this is not too bad as long as we don't run into "Retry later" too often. Unfortunately, I get "Retry later" around 20 times per day now. That's not very useful. Any ideas on making this less annoying? Helmut
