Travis CI spurious failures

[Andrei Alexandrescu via Digitalmars-d]

I'm getting emails about Travis CI builds failing, even for changes that 
clearly cause no breakage (e.g. 
https://travis-ci.org/dlang/dmd/builds/157445381).

After a few of those, what I feared will happen has happened: I 
effectively treat all similar messages as noise I just delete from 
Inbox. This reflects our experience at Facebook Engineering, where 
spurious failures invariably led to apathy in minding the legit one. I 
recall there's been an explicit effort to weed all spurious failure out.

Can we do the same? How can we make sure that a Travis failure always is 
legit and needs action?


Thanks,

Andrei
