[Pkg-utopia-maintainers] Bug#981127: cockpit: FTBFS on hppa - test timeout is way too small

[John David Anglin]

Source: cockpit
Version: 236-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Dear Maintainer,

Cockpit fails to build on hppa because the test-tls-certfile test times out.
For example, see this log:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=cockpit&arch=hppa&ver=236-1&stamp=1611676114&raw=0

I had a successful build by extending the timeout from 300 seconds to 3600
seconds.  See:
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=cockpit&arch=hppa&ver=236-1&stamp=1611682342&raw=0

Attached is patch that I used.

We either need to skip the test-tls-certfile on hppa or greatly extend the
timeout.  The test spends most of its time in the kernel (maybe there is
lock contention).

Regards,
Dave Anglin
