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

[Francis Russell]

As I'm sure everyone noticed, I filed a bug report to do with Monotone's
Makefile handling. I'm pretty sure that this isn't something to do with
the test suite, but a much stranger issue to do with monotone dependency
handling.

I suspect the issue may be due to the set of files named
./src/package_full_revision.*. The Makefile declares a number of these
as phony targets so they'll always be rebuilt. Grepping the Make output
gives:

address@hidden:/tmp/monotone-1.0$ make -d -j2 2>&1 | grep Must
  Must remake target `config.h'.
Must remake target `all'.
Must remake target `all-recursive'.
  Must remake target `all-am'.
Must remake target `all'.
      Must remake target `config.h'.
          Must remake target `src/package_revision_raw.txt'.
          Must remake target `src/package_full_revision_raw.txt'.
        Must remake target `src/package_revision.txt'.
          Must remake target `src/package_full_revision_dist.txt'.
      Must remake target `src/std_hooks.cc'.
      Must remake target `src/schema.cc'.
      Must remake target `src/package_revision.cc'.
        Must remake target `src/package_full_revision.txt'.
      Must remake target `src/package_full_revision.cc'.
