Nightly packages upload when launchpad is overloaded
Mantis Issue 288, reported by jmalik, assigned to sdinot, created: 2011-05-09
Seen in the 2 weeks following Ubuntu Natty release ;
- the build farm is overloaded, with typically a 2 days build queue.
- it messes up the nightly package upload, which upload otb source package and then wait until this package is published to send the source package for the other projects.
it is suspected that in this case, the cron script for upload is in fact running for several days, and as such, several instances of the script are running in parallel.
-> need to add a timeout and abort if we can't see the otb binary package published during the night.
1308746067 - sdinot5 hours timeout added for OTB binary packages availability.
