ci.guix.gnu.org is having trouble building vigra (a dependency of
libreoffice) because the build times out after 1 hour of silence [0]:

It takes a lot of resources to build this package and people are
reporting difficulties on the mailing lists and IRC [1]. Is there anything
we can do to make it more likely to build on the CI servers?

While there are currently substitutes available for both vigra and
libreoffice, I've raised the max-silent-time timeout value from 1 h to 2
h in a25896bb7576c8232acc7a3fd4da0b1cba89569b.  Hopefully that'll help
keeping the problem at bay.

Thanks for the report!

Closing,

Maxim

Does Cuirass honor this property? In the past, the timeout and
max-silent-time properties were ignored by Cuirass:

Thanks for pointing me to that.  I wasn't aware Cuirass didn't honor it,
compared to Hydra.  I grepped the code base and found in (guix ci):

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define* (package->alist store package system
                         #:optional (package-derivation package-derivation))
  "Convert PACKAGE to an alist suitable for Hydra."
  (parameterize ((%graft? #f))
    (let ((drv (package-derivation store package system
                                   #:graft? #f)))
      `((derivation . ,(derivation-file-name drv))
        (log . ,(log-file store (derivation-file-name drv)))
        (outputs . ,(filter-map (lambda (res)
                                  (match res
                                    ((name . path)
                                     `(,name . ,path))))
                                (derivation->output-paths drv)))
        (nix-name . ,(derivation-name drv))
        (system . ,(derivation-system drv))
        (description . ,(package-synopsis package))
        (long-description . ,(package-description package))

        ;; XXX: Hydra ignores licenses that are not a <license> structure or a
        ;; list thereof.
        (license . ,(let loop ((license (package-license package)))
                      (match license
                        ((? license?)
                         (license-name license))
                        ((lst ...)
                         (map loop license)))))

        (home-page . ,(package-home-page package))
        (maintainers . ("bug-guix <at> gnu.org"))
        (max-silent-time . ,(or (assoc-ref (package-properties package)
                                           'max-silent-time)
                                3600))              ;1 hour by default
        (timeout . ,(or (assoc-ref (package-properties package) 'timeout)
                        72000))))))                  ;20 hours by default
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

which led me to believe it was honored.  Perhaps the question of having
Cuirass do per package session should be revisited; it seems useful to
be able to configure this setting per-package rather than globally.

Thank you!

Maxim

Hello,

>> Does Cuirass honor this property? In the past, the timeout and
>> max-silent-time properties were ignored by Cuirass:

Until recently Cuirass didn't honor "max-silent-time" and "timeout"
properties. However, the "wip-offload" branch adds support for those two
properties between other things.

Berlin is running a Cuirass instance based on that branch, so those
properties should now be honored.

Thanks,

Mathieu

Thanks for the heads up, and for your work or Cuirass!
