I don't claim Jenkins is a good infrastructure for this. (But I don't
want to start any discussion about that. Just wanted to point out that
adding timeouts to test code is the wrong solution to the underlying
problem of having reliable build bots.)
2/ the linux debug build, once a week also rebuild the doc.. which
takes a long time.. so I had to bump that global level deadlock to the
max time a full build + build the doc and upload it can take... which
make the deadlock kick in the 5-6 hours range... not great.
A single, fixed timeout, independent of the kind of build you're doing,
indeed doesn't look very useful.

There is a flow of task to do.. I cannot block a slave for an

This depends on how much you can containerize/virtualize the builds, of
course.
