I have a project on github with the travis-ci setup. I pass in the
settings.xml with mvn -s settings.xml clean install. The settings.xml
is the one we always configure to point to opendaylight nexus. This
does work, but I am pretty sure github or travis probably don't like
the job downloading all these artifacts. It took two minutes of which
the majority was simply downloading from nexus.

I don’t think there’s an efficient way of *pulling* artifacts from ODL
Nexus, but you can reduce the amount of artifacts to pull by setting up
a cache; see https://github.com/akka/akka/blob/master/.travis.yml for
an example — something like

cache:
directories:
- $HOME/.m2/repository

should do the trick for a Maven build.

(Many Travis jobs install packages etc. using apt, and that downloads
from Ubuntu — so I don’t think GitHub or Travis particularly mind about
the bandwidth.)
