Subject: Bug#1130337: reproducible: failed builds and slow scheduling from
 early 2026-03.
Message-ID: <177322658266.12974.10534404209714080471.reportbug@localhost>

Package: jenkins.debian.org

Dear Maintainer,

As also mentioned in #debian-reproducible (2026-03-03 around 11:30am UTC),
there seems to have been a large number of build failures - seemingly
infrastructure failures, so not exactly FTBFS - for Debian packages displayed
on the tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian website since early March 2026.

Some potential clues:

  - On Feb 25th a maintenance job[1] took an unexpectedly long time to
    complete; more than four hours compared to a usual few minutes.

  - The index breakages[2] webpage charts display a large number of
    diffoscope failures; some in early Feb, and then another peak of these
    towards the end of Feb.

At the time of writing, builds are occurring again although at a low rate (a
few builds per day).

Thanks,
James

yes, this has been going on for some time but my priorities are currently
elsewhere and noone else has done anything really, so meh.
