Each time a new pipeline is triggered, some jobs may fail due to
temporary issue with a Gitlab runner (network, power supply, docker or
maintainance).
Most of the problems are "runner system failure" [1] and require to
retart each failed jobs manually by maintainers to complete the
pipeline with only real failures if any.
The "retry" keyword allows to configure how many times a job is retried
if it fails. "retry:when" allows to retry a failed job only on
specific failure types like "runner_system_failure".
While at it, retry a job if it failed due to a timeout failure (this
timeout means that the job was pending for more than 24h) [2].
Such timeout failures occur on pipelines testing each Buildroot's
defconfig since there is not enough gitlab runner available to build
all of them within 24h.
Retry only jobs that are more likely to wait for a runner
(generate-gitlab-ci-yml, runtime_test_base, defconfig_base and test_pkg).

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC. If you would like to contribute patches, please read https://buildroot.org/manual.html#submitting-patches
