> This issue is for tracking efforts to rework our Travis scripts to use [stages|https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/build-stages/].
> This feature allows us to define a sequence of jobs that are run one after another. This implies that we can define dependencies between jobs, in contrast to our existing jobs that have to be self-contained.
> As an example, we could have a compile stage, and a test stage with multiple jobs.
> The main benefit here is that we no longer have to compile modules multiple times, which would reduce our build times.
> The major issue here however is that there is no _proper_ support for passing build-artifacts from one stage to the next. According to this [issue|https://github.com/travis-ci/beta-features/issues/28] it is on their to-do-list however.
> In the mean-time we could manually transfer the artifacts between stages by either using the Travis cache or some other external storage. The cache solution would work by setting up a cached directory (just like the mvn cache) and creating build-scope directories within containing the artifacts (I have a prototype that works like this).
> The major concern here is that of cleaning up the cache/storage.
> We can clean things up if
> * our script fails
> * the last stage succeeds.
> We can *not* clean things up if
> * the build is canceled
> * travis fails the build due to a timeout or similar
> as apparently there is [no way to run a script at the end of a build|https://github.com/travis-ci/travis-ci/issues/4221].
> Thus we would either have to periodically clear the cache, or encode more information into the cached files that would allow _other_ builds to clean up stale date. (For example the build number or date).
