Hi, We’re building branches and PRs on three platforms: macOS, Linux with gcc 6 and Linux with gcc 7. - Travis builds: [https://travis-ci.org/appleseedhq/appleseed](https://travis-ci.org/appleseedhq/appleseed) - Top-level `.travis.yml` script: [https://github.com/appleseedhq/appleseed/blob/master/.travis.yml](https://github.com/appleseedhq/appleseed/blob/master/.travis.yml) - Linux build script: [https://github.com/appleseedhq/appleseed/blob/master/scripts/travis/build-linux.sh](https://github.com/appleseedhq/appleseed/blob/master/scripts/travis/build-linux.sh) **For three days now, both Linux builds are no longer being executed:** - Here is the last `master` build that proceeded on all platforms (but failed on macOS for other known reasons), dated February 26th (four days ago): [https://travis-ci.org/appleseedhq/appleseed/builds/655239028](https://travis-ci.org/appleseedhq/appleseed/builds/655239028) - The next `master` build (latest at the time of writing, started half an hour ago) is not proceeding on Linux: [https://travis-ci.org/appleseedhq/appleseed/builds/656897628](https://travis-ci.org/appleseedhq/appleseed/builds/656897628) - Same thing for PRs: the last PR that was built on all three platforms was four days ago: [https://travis-ci.org/appleseedhq/appleseed/builds/655493712](https://travis-ci.org/appleseedhq/appleseed/builds/655493712) - And the very next PR build was again only executed on macOS: [https://travis-ci.org/appleseedhq/appleseed/builds/655651831](https://travis-ci.org/appleseedhq/appleseed/builds/655651831) Any idea? ---

We’ve simplified our `.travis.yml` file and it looks like it’s working now: > Was our issue that we were both including and excluding Linux builds, and that the outcome was somehow implementation-defined (and something in the infrastructure changed three days ago)? ---

Previously, it had no effect on explicitly included jobs and now, it has. It’s actually undocumented in [Build Matrix - Travis CI](https://docs.travis-ci.com/user/build-matrix/) whether `include:` or `exclude:` takes precedence. So yes, > [@franz](#): > > the outcome was somehow implementation-defined ---
