[GitHub] [netbeans] YunLemon opened a new pull request #3110: Improve Travis CI build Performance
YunLemon opened a new pull request #3110:
URL: https://github.com/apache/netbeans/pull/3110
Does travis_retry really solve the build issues? According to the data in paper [An empirical study of the long duration of continuous integration builds](https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1007/s10664-019-09695-9), travis_retry can only solve 3% of the build failures. And it may cause unstable build and increase build time.
According to [Build times out because no output was received](https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/common-build-problems/#build-times-out-because-no-output-was-received), we should carefully use travis_wait, as it may make the build unstable and extend the build time.
=====================
If there are any inappropriate modifications in this PR, please give me a reply and I will change them.

Can the root causes of these problems be solved?
`travis_retry` and `travis_wait` means the result of the command is uncertain. However, the build process has to be deterministic. Flaky behavior, e.g., tests that sometimes fail, should be avoided, because this causes maintenance issues. Addressing this issue through retries after failures might not only hide the underlying problem, but makes issues also harder to debug when they only occur sometimes.
And a lot of time will be wasted if the command fails multiple times.
