[debian-mysql] Bug#920209: Suggested fix

[Giovanni Mascellani]

Hi,

the failure is apparently due to insufficient timeout time for some
tests. Some mipsel builders are more powerful, therefore manage to go
through all the tests without problems, but other are weaker and are not
able to complete the test before the timeout, thus triggering a failure.

I suggest to add some code in d/rules like that:

# Some mipsel buildd's are a bit slow and fail tests if they are not
# given enough time
ifeq (mipsel,$(DEB_HOST_ARCH))
        export CK_TIMEOUT_MULTIPLIER=2
endif

This should double the test timeout for all tests when building on
mipsel. I don't know if 2 is the right factor, because the porterbox is
of the strong kind, so it does not provide a reliable benchmark. I guess
the best way is to try to upload this (I can NMU, if you want), and
possibly raise the multiplier if needed.

HTH and all the best, Giovanni.
