[opam-devel] Travis CI failures

[Thomas Gazagnaire]

The system seems continue to be unreliable. Lots of errors like:

$ bash -e .travis-ci.sh

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.
The command "bash -e .travis-ci.sh" exited with 100.

I'll try to contact Travis support later today.

I don't complain too loudly because it's a free (and very useful) service, but I am wondering if we should not upgrade to something a bit more reliable.
