eval: use of retry tool in build scripts #231

Open ssbarnea opened 1 month ago

ssbarnea commented 1 month ago

As we often encounter some operations that fail for random factors like network access, it would be useful to have a simple way to retry some build commands.

One such tool is retry, which does not seem to be available on Redhat platforms anymore. Maybe we can identify an alternative or remediate it.

### Tasks
- [x] ubuntu 24.04
- [x] macos via brew
- [ ] [fedora](https://github.com/minfrin/retry/issues/22)
- [ ] ubi8
- [ ] ubi9
- [ ] asdf (could be an acceptable alternative to rpms)
- [x] nix
