'max-silent-time' is the property specifying the number of seconds of
silence before aborting the build. For example, here's the 'properties'
field of our guile-2.2 package:
(properties '((timeout . 72000) ;20 hours
(max-silent-time . 36000))) ;10 hours (needed on ARM
; when heavily loaded)
The timeouts should be large enough to accommodate an armhf build slave
that's performing two concurrent builds.
Thanks,
