The hydra.nixos "coverage" job, which is the one that runs "make check",
had been timing out for a month. If this has not been flagged before
now, it seems like a sign that this automated build isn't useful any
more and should be stopped.
The way to do that is probably to open an issue at
https://github.com/NixOS/hydra/issues
There is also https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/hydra-users ,
but I'm not sure it is used/monitored any more.
The start of the timeout cannot be pin-pointed, because the build was
broken for several days.
It last worked consistently around
https://hydra.nixos.org/eval/1764830
Then the build was broken for several days from:
https://hydra.nixos.org/eval/1764836
The build started working again in:
https://hydra.nixos.org/eval/1765592
but coverage was already timing out.
It has worked once or twice since then, but mostly timed out.
See https://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/gnu/emacs-trunk/evals?page=30
(at time of writing)
No-one has login access to this system. If you want to investigate this,
your options are:
1) Install Nix locally and try the "Reproduce locally" button from the
"Actions" menu on a job web page.
2) Make the check process more verbose, so you can see where it hangs.
The enevironment variable EMACS_HYDRA_CI is set in these builds.
3) Modify the hydra build recipe. To do this, get access to
https://savannah.nongnu.org/p/hydra-recipes in the usual way, and modify
the file emacs/release.nix.
