Hi Francesco,
Do you see any ways to resolve the problem through:
a) increase default 2 minutes timeout
This is feasible but I don't know if such timeout makes sense when > 10
minutes (this is the kind of performance available of ASF Jenkins
nowadays...)
b) optimize cargo Syncope startup (not sure is it really possible)
Don't have idea of what to do in this respect...
Regards.

Subject: [DISCUSS] Continuous integration
Hi all,
as you might have noticed, our Jenkins jobs [1] are quite unstable, lately
more than ever.
This is not due to actual test failures but (almost always) to the inability of
Jenkins nodes to start Tomcat via cargo within 2 minutes (the default for
cargo, 120000 msecs).
And this is in turn caused by the high load under which the ASF Jenkins
infrastructure is working; lately more than ever.
Having seen this trend, I have recently added some Syncope jobs to our
company Jenkins instance [2]; this in order to have a more reliable reference
to understand at first glance whether an ASF Jenkins failure is actually due to
test failures or not.
But this is not satisfying for different reasons:
1. it is a private - even though publicly accessible - Jenkins
instance: for this reason, for example, it is not configured for sending
messages to dev@syncope.apache.org (as instead ASF Jenkins does)
2. it cannot access ASF JIRA to publish test results as an issue comment (is
that true?)
3. we don't have enough bandwidth to continuously publish Maven artifacts
to ASF snapshot repository
4. I don't know if this is allowed by ASF policies
If there is no way out of this ASF Jenkins trouble, I'd propose then to find
some other free CI over the Internet (Cloudbees Jenkins [3] or Travis CI [4]).
WDYT?
