That's a good summary and I don't see a better solution. While (3) sounds nice, I think (2) is the fastest/most pragmatic solution. We already use the Travis cache [1]. You could use that mechanism to store a file with the latest number of bugs in the cache directory $HOME/travis-cache If the "number of bugs" file does not exist, then create it and don't complain. If the file exists and the previous number of bugs is higher or equal, then don't complain either. If the file exists and the previous number of bugs is lower, then let the build fail. Do you think that could work?
