Is that really the problem? Is ppc64el so much slower than the other architectures (I didn't just now check the numbers, but thought they are regularly *much* lower)? Also, what makes the difference for the timing out ones on amd64? The load on the host? > The only way the timeout issue can be fixed is by preventing some test > from being run. I will take a look at this, as time permits. If you can split the tests over multiple autopkgtests, each autopkgtest gets it's own 2:47 hour timeout (yes, there is a global timeout too, but it's higher). See $(man autopkgtest) for the numbers, we use the defaults. Paul
