Thanks Damjan for the (as usual) great progress.

Buildbots
should immediately fail the build if ./bootstrap fails
Yes, there is no sense in continuing if bootstrap fails

Yes, sure.

5 hours is pure waste. Alternatively we should find a more reliable
ooo-extras hosting solution than SourceForge. We could also cache
dependencies offline between builds, but I am guessing that has licensing
issues?

No, dependencies we temporarily download on a build machine are not affected by licensing issues.

Maybe an extra parameter --cache-dir=$DIR to bootstrap would work? This way we could setup a dedicated cache directory on the buildbots (even if we are doing a "clean build", there is really no point in re-downloading a file if the checksum matches).

showed 4 nmake processes, 2 from March 30, 2 from April 4, part of
orphaned trees also containing perl, sh, and dmake.

At least we could have the VM restarted to make sure we don't carry stale processes around for months. Infra can for sure do it with minimal effort. And access to the dedicated IRC channel for giving instructions to buildbots might be useful too (I guess you know what I am talking about; if not, just ask and I can look it up).

  Andrea.
