[Pkg-kde-talk] the kdeedu timeout for the mipsel build

[Adeodato Simó]

hi bab, riku, all.

  if I recall correctly, the kdeedu build failure on mipsel was
  determined to only need a retry with an increased timeout to be
  successful, and AIUI, that was explicitely noted in the retry request
  mail. sadly, I just leart that the build was retried on Dec 25 but
  with the same 150min timeout, so obviously it failed again.

  Talking with Andreas Barth on #debian-release, the issue came up, and
  the chat went like this:

15:13 <dato> aba: if the security uploads are defered post-transition, and
             unless I overlooked something, the tranisition is missing one s390
             requeue and one mipsel buildd
15:13 <aba> dato: the security bugs are also present in sarge?
15:14 <dato> aba: yes (remember the tags +sarge,sid question ;-)
15:14 <aba> dato: well, just wanted to be sure. Ok, in that case, if the
            transition is ready otherwise, why shouldn't we do it? :)
15:18 <dato> uhm, I see that the missing kdeedu mipsel build (which first
             failed on Nov 12)
15:18 <dato> has been retried on Dec 25
15:19 <dato> but the timeout is 150 again, and according to bab and calc, an
             increase was needed and so was asked in the retry request :-?
15:19 <aba> Uh. Damn.
15:20 <aba> How large should the timeout be?
15:20 <dato> I'm not qualified to answer that. bab should be able to have a
             better idea, I'd say
15:21 <aba> dato: If I get an qualified answer, I may consider to do a porter
            build.
15:22 <dato> aba: so, I try to find out that and get back to you, ok?
15:22 <aba> ok.

  so please, if any of you can answer that, please tell me so I can get
  back to him, or contact him directly. thanks.

                                     * * *

  Riku, I also recall that you had the possibility of doing the build on
  a machine of yours. as we didn't talk about it further, I assume that
  such build didn't happen; if you did it, or consider doing it now a
  good option, you can also coordinate with aba about it.

  Happy New Year to all of you!

The problem I have with making an intelligent statement is that some
people then think that it's not an isolated occurrance.
