floating point testsuites on softfloat buildds

2014-12-01 Thread Michael Banck
Hi, some of my packages (e.g. nwchem, but others as well) have floating-point heavy testsuites becuse they are scientific computing applications. The current state on mips (but not mipsel) is that the testsuite routinely takes too long on some autobuilders, so that sbuild kills it after a testcas
