Hi all,
I'm the guy in charge of the Papyrus releng. All apologizes for the 7 or 8 hours builds, but this happened when the hudson server was buggy (version 1.378 perhaps?!). Usually, Papyrus job only takes a couple of minutes (between 15 and 20 min).
I do not understand really well why the 2 builds took so much time (build id 1104 and 1105). The new ones, 1106 and 1107, seems to have nice execution time, I have not changed anything from my side. The Papyrus job is a very simple one, it only compiles and builds the p2 repository. It does not do any junit test, it does not also have xvnc option activated.
Whatever, to be more 'server-friendly', I've changed the timer for the job: it will build fewer times in the day.
As a remark: I do not know why the hudson web interface does not propose anymore a list of available build nodes (main, hudson slaves, etc.), but only a text field. Is this the effect of newer versions or some modified configuration in hudson?
In some situations the build timeout plugin could help to abort builds which take much longer than
On the old hudson we configured that for our builds (egit, jgit) and this helped to abort some hanging builds.
It seems this plugin isn't available on the new hudson.
