Hi

Staging has been disabled for a short while.

Some of those 'network problems' could be related to the Jenkins and integrator 
server running low on memory. We suspect that Jenkins running on Java leaks 
memory (kind of ironic with Java) or simply just eats up everything it can get. 
After odd symptoms has appeared a reboot has helped in the past. So I'll try 
that right after this ongoing QtBase build has finished.

Regards,

Hi

A summary of all the problems and current status.


1)      Jenkins drops connections to clients - PROBLEM SPREADS

Initially this was only a windows problem, that occurred when we updated Java 
from U7 to U17. Apparently at the same time, some of the Javas on some machines 
got f#¤ked and we ended up with servers that didn't really have neither or 
both. This was partially fixed with reverting back to U7 with Puppet. However 
we still had some machines having this mess even today. Janne Anttila aided us 
and went through all 50 machines by hand and fixed the Java versions.



Today (22.5.) we also found one Mac 10.7 that has the same symptoms. Reason for 
this unknown. Cure: We brought the node offline and will look at it later.



---

30.5. More and more machines are affected by this, both virtual machines and 
physical machines alike are affected. Reason still unknown, but we'll start 
investigating.





2)      Windows 8's cmd.exe problem - WORKAROUND FOUND

We have Janne Anttila working on this problem now and we got good investigation 
reports from Friedemann on this. Thank you for that, and I'll give you an 
update if we get a solution for this. I'll discuss whether or not we'll 
'forcesuccess' this for the time being. From what I've heard, that's something 
many of you would like to see ;)

---

This has been a problem since last year. Randomly Windows 8 fails builds due to 
this. Won't go any deeper on that one here.

---

30.5. Janne A. has apparently figured out where things go wrong, but not the 
reason why. He also has a workaround coming to the CI to circumvent the problem.



3)      Network problems - WORKAROUND COMING

30.5. This causes builds to fail Git operations for example. We'll implement 
some "retry" to circumvent these problems. Still at some point, we'll have to 
investigate what the underlying problem is, but currently it's in our backlog.
