Issue https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-11296 has been open
for more than one month. It prevents buildbots from operating correctly.
Infra did fix one buildbot, but 5 are still waiting.
If someone is interested in the story, all buildbots broke because we
download dependencies from the (SourceForge-hosted) ooo-extras
repository before building. SF decided to switch from HTTP to HTTPS but
our buildbots were caught unprepared (we use a Perl script that needs an
additional Perl module to use HTTPS). So the reason buildbots fail is
that one small installation must be done on each machine, and this is a
task for Infra.
But due to this we can't have nightly builds and we can't test the
changes Damjan did months ago in an attempt to fix the Windows buildbots.
Fortunately it seems there's a workaround: SourceForge uses HTTPS for
the mirror selection, but then the file gets downloaded through HTTP
from the selected mirror. So I've gone ahead and I've changed the
generic SourceForge URLs to a pre-selected SourceForge mirror (the one I
was getting in my tests). See
https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=126892
This will hopefully mean that buildbots get past the "./bootstrap"
phase. It is a temporary fix that will be reverted when all buildbots
support HTTPS download.
Regards,
Andrea.
