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?
