[Pkg-cups-devel] Bug#518787: FTBFS: Cups teststuite timeout too short

[Riku Voipio]

Package: cups
Version: 1.3.9-14  
Severity: serious
User: debian-arm at lists.debian.org
Usertags: eabi

The armel builds of cups are failing. After some research it
seems likely that success of cupsys testsuite is dependant of
the performance of system running the testsuite. See:

test/waitjobs.sh.

It will only wait upto 60sec when waiting for jobs to finish.
Bumping up the timeout has no ill effect on faster machines,
because waitjobs.sh will anyway exit as soon as jobs have finished.
waitjobs.sh should also print wether it exits due to jobs finising
or due to bumping to a timeout.

This probably also explains why the testsuite has failed on m68k and
arm before.
