Hi,

At this pull request, Travis reports a failure.
So I go to the Travis build log where I can see the failing job (perl-5.14-thr).

Karen Etheridge once told me that in such a scenario I should be able to re-run the job, and this page that I googled agrees.
In fact, that page that I googled is very similar to the Travis build log that I linked to above.
The only siginificant differences I can see are that the build log I'm looking at contains neither the "Restart build" button, nor the various "Restart job" buttons down the RHS of the page.

Is it possible for me to re-run that particular failing job ?
AFAICT it's only failing because Travis can't find the perl-5.14 distro.

I know I can initiate a full rebuild by pushing some pointless inconsequential change (eg change in whitespace) to my forked repo.
Is that the only way ?

Should I just ignore that fail report and do nothing at all about it ? (Is such non-action deemed reasonable ? ... I'm not sure what the conventions are wrt this.)

Cheers,
Rob
