Eventually all the tests will be migrated to the test-skeleton framework, and then the buildd will *never* timeout. Relying on the tests to timeout the buildd will eventually cause a broken glibc to be uploaded. There should be a post-build step that scans the error logs and fails the build. I posted a patch for this in 2004 here: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg08830.html Aurel, what do you think? > FYI, I am working on the problem, it *seems* the problem is due to the > switch to 2.6.25 kernel headers.
