["Antonio Vieiro (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-293?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16331154#comment-16331154 ] 

Antonio Vieiro commented on NETBEANS-293:
-----------------------------------------

Some more:
 * See how to run "ant clean" from Travis to clean up .hgexternalcache.
 * Detect timeouts & retry a number of times before bailing out (some builds hang during more than six hours before bailing out).
 * Report total download time.

> Several options for improving the build system's binary caching have been discussed at: [https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/91890503f42ef1e3fa1365739532e841e51ca0f25b4d0894e43af881@%3Cdev.netbeans.apache.org%3E]
> Some ideas include:
>  * Parallelizing downloads
>  * Enabling Travis CI directory caching: [https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/caching/#Arbitrary-directories]
>  * Cleaning up the binaries cache ({{~/.hgexternalcache}}) automatically, deleting files that were not needed by the build and symlinking duplicate files.
