Hi all!
I finally started to investigate why spoonbill stopped reporting to the
buildfarm feedback about 2 months ago.
It seems that the foreign-keys locking patch (or something commity very
close to January 23th) broke it in a fairly annoying way - running the
buildfarm script seems to
consistently "stall" during the isolationtester part of the regression
testing leaving the postgresql instance running causing all future
buildfarm runs to fail...
There is some timeout code already in the buildfarm client. It was
originally put there to help us when we got CVS hangs, a not infrequent
occurrence in the early days, so it's currently only used if configured
for the checkout phase, but it could easily be used to create a build
timeout which would kill the whole process group if the timeout expired.
It wouldn't work on Windows, and of course it won't solve whatever
problem caused the hang in the first place, but it still might be worth
doing.
cheers
