Did we identify the worst offenders within the spurious failing tests?
We could ignore their output on NetBSD (this is how I started)
There do seem to be patterns - ironically, NFS-related tests seem to show up a
lot - but I haven't studied this enough to give a detailed answer. More to the
point, is there really much difference between running tests all the time and
ignoring certain ones, vs. running them nightly/weekly and triaging the results
manually? Besides resource consumption, I mean. If we find something in a
nightly/weekly test that closer inspection leads us to believe is a generic and
serious problem, we should be able to create a Linux reproducer or even block
merges by fiat. Then the only difference is whether we default to allowing
merges to occur despite NetBSD failures or default to blocking them. Either
way we can make exceptions.
Agree with your point. If we are ready to make exceptions, then we might
as well not block all the patches. As Jeff suggested, triaging the
nightly/weekly results manually and making any serious issues a blocker
should suffice. We have been following the current model for so long,
and have been constantly facing issues because of it. I feel there is no
harm in trying the nightly/weekly approach for once (even temporarily if
we have to), and see how things work out.
