I looked closer at the bug report and I see they are timing out at 60 and 180 for Bone Baboon as they currently are. Bone Baboon: Can you build the attached test-glib.scm file and send back the build log? I want to make sure I change the timeout to something long enough. You can build it with 'guix build -f test-glib.scm' -- Efraim Flashner <efr...@flashner.co.il> אפרים פלשנר GPG key = A28B F40C 3E55 1372 662D 14F7 41AA E7DC CA3D 8351 Confidentiality cannot be guaranteed on emails sent or received unencrypted
