Hi,

I think we need to seriously look at allowing a timeout parameter around

"deploy_linaro_image", because vexpress is going to need around 4 hours to

deploy a full desktop, and it seems crazy that we should hard code that big

a timeout into master.py for *all* platforms.

I realise there is an issue as to which part the timeout is applied to and

how it's apportioned, but even if we just allowed to pass through the whole

timeout to each stage it would be better than what we have at the moment.

Thoughts?

Follow up to Dave initial thread, we didn't have reached a conclusion. He reported https://bugs.launchpad.net/lava-dispatcher/+bug/961926 Could we plan (and assign someone) to land a fix for this bug?

Cheers,

Hi Fathi,

There's also this MP: https://code.launchpad.net/~dpigott/lava-dispatcher/increase-timeout/+merge/...

For the record, I asked to Zygmunt to merge and deploy in production (now done). rationale: the issue is blocking us for supporting versatile express in the lab.

Thanks to Dave and Zygmunt!

Cheers,

Fathi
