I never experienced such timeouts, but I guess I don't work on very large packages or things that take more than a few minutes to build. If what you describe really is caused by the default runners not being fast enough, why couldn't we ask the Salsa team for more powerful ones? Have you talked to them about this? It seems to me that spending money in QA like CI runners is very profitable for the project, as it saves everyone a lot of time dealing with unnecessary failure caused by lack of tests. It's not like Debian is a very poor organisation... -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ Louis-Philippe Véronneau ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋ pollo@debian.org / veronneau.org ⠈⠳⣄
