[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH RESEND 0/2] avoid Travis CI "no log output for 10 minutes" failure

[Philippe Mathieu-Daudé]

Hi, still trying to reduce Travis false negatives...

Suggested yesterday on IRC:
  pm215: this one seems to be that we hit the "10 minutes with no output" limit
  stefanha: f4bug: We could literally have a SIGALRM that wakes up to print out 
a '.' :-)

Let's try with an easy shell script.

This doesn't solve the 50min TO problem which is a different issue, but seems
to work a bit more stable:

https://travis-ci.org/philmd/qemu/builds/253032034

tagged 'RFC' because it's just a PoC script without comment.

Regards,

Phil.

PD: sorry, resent since I forgot to Cc: address@hidden :S
