 Tristan Ross | Yeah, I'm using crane so it's at least easier to deal with some of these things | 12:50:02 |
|  matthewcroughan changed their display name from matthewcroughan to matthewcroughan @fosdem. | 13:32:15 |

 Ihar Hrachyshka | Austin Horstman: in my local run, the biggest gap between messages in firefox build is:
[2026-01-29 22:40:51] firefox-unwrapped> make[3]: Leaving directory '/nix/var/nix/builds/nix-84991-1567875916/firefox-147.0.2/objdir/media/ffvpx/libavcodec'
[2026-01-29 23:22:13] firefox-unwrapped> /nix/var/nix/builds/nix-84991-1567875916/mozbuild/srcdirs/firefox-147.0.2-a7aea0efcd6d/_virtualenvs/build/bin/python -m mozbuild.action.check_binary ../../../dist/bin/XUL
42 minutes of silence :)
| 23:45:50 |
| Ihar Hrachyshka | and this is right after "libavcodec" (we saw it as last message in some timed out runs) | 23:46:46 |
| Ihar Hrachyshka | brb adding a background noise generator that would print silly jokes once every 5 mins while firefox is doing lto... | 23:47:53 |
| Ihar Hrachyshka | the default hydra setting for silence is 2h; we are bumping it in meta.maxSilent to 4h but maybe it's ignored somehow. on a slower machine, it's probably not out of the ordinary for something taking 40 mins on a dedicated m4 machine to take 2h+ instead. | 23:52:50 |

 hexa | is it? if you think so file an issue on the hydra repo | 00:25:52 |
| hexa | the question I have is if we are making a mistake by configuring max-silent-time on nix on the builders instead | 00:27:31 |
| hexa | and hydra can't override that | 00:27:35 |
| hexa | frankly not sure what takes precedence | 00:27:49 |
 Austin Horstman | yeah, we were talking yesterday about trying to figure out the whole chain of defaults/overrides/priorities and how to resolve our issue lol | 00:28:38 |
| Austin Horstman | how long did your run take when you built it by itself? | 00:34:20 |
| Ihar Hrachyshka | $ head -n 1 build.log ; tail -n 1 build.log

| 00:50:59 |
| Austin Horstman | hmm that seems super quick | 00:55:57 |
| Austin Horstman | i went to go test the build time real quick | 00:57:11 |
