Hi!

It was killed after 3600 s. of silence, see
<http://hydra.nixos.org/build/1658987/nixlog/1/tail>.

Yes, add ‘meta.timeout’ and/or ‘meta.maxSilent’ fields like this:

diff --git a/rcs/release.nix b/rcs/release.nix
index 23cb141..a94ac8b 100644
--- a/rcs/release.nix
+++ b/rcs/release.nix
@@ -34,6 +34,9 @@ let

+    maxSilent = 300;
+
     # Those who will receive email notifications.
     maintainers = [
       "Rob Vermaas <address@hidden>"
The ‘meta.timeout’ field is for an absolute timeout, so use with care.

(You might also want to add yourself to meta.maintainers, so you receive
email notifications.)

That’s not currently possible.  Why would you want that?

Thanks,
