Re: what's the matter with the bzr server?

Firstly, it is sort of flattering that people think emacs-devel can fix
every problem in the known universe, but isn't it kind of obvious that
we don't manage the GNU infrastructure, and that this is not the right
address for problems with Savannah? I don't know how many times this
needs to be said.

Anyway, we are here now, and by a total coincidence I can actually look
into this as of a few days ago.

Don't know where that comes from. AFAIK there is no timeout on bzr+ssh.

There is a 5 hour time out on anonymous bzr:// access, which seems
reasonable. Nothing has changed in this area recently AFAIK.

Indeed.

(But please everybody don't go hammering the server to check what the
value is for you.)

Hmm, seems this may be internal to bzr:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/bzr/+bug/1112797

Maybe it is only supposed to affect commit though?

I can see the 300 sec timeout in the logs on the server...
