Hi everybody, Travis is able to read commit messages and skip the CI workflow if the "[skip ci]" magic sequence is added somewhere. I keep forgetting about it too, but it would be nice if we could start using it to avoid using CI resources/workers when not needed (like docs changes, entries in STATUS, etc..). I didn't find a way to instruct Travis to avoid triggering a build if only certain file types are committed, so the only solution for the moment is to manually add the aforementioned sequence :(
It is not a big deal to trigger builds even for docs etc.., but the ASF resources/workers are limited (and shared among projects IIUC) so I am only suggesting to be good neighbors :) If this is totally insane or unacceptable I'll back off and stop vouching for it I promise! Luca
