[Monotone-debian] Bug#623734: Bug#623734: monotone: FTBFS: test suite timeout

[Francis Russell]

Dear Aaron,

this appears to be a hang, since the monotone test suite produces
extensive output. Multiple monotone maintainers, developers and others
have tried to replicate the hang and failed. At the very least, I
believe the following configurations have been tested and found not to
manifest the hang during package building:

- amd64 Debian testing
- i386 Debian testing
- amd64 Debian unstable
- i386 Debian unstable
- i386 Ubuntu Maverick

1. It is possible to manually trigger a rebuild to determine if this is
a problem with Debian unstable that has since resolved itself?

2. It is possible to get any information on what's happening during the
time the build is hanged. e.g. the state of the process tree, whether
all of them are blocked or are consuming CPU, the parameters to each
process.

3. It is possible to have as much additional information as possible on
the environment the builds are being performed in? It's practically
impossible to be able to debug this issue without the ability to
replicate it.
