OCaml4.07 (was Re: Graphical login broken on core-updates)

Hi,

Well, ocaml-4.07.1 is broken [1] on core-updates, mainly because [2]:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
building of `/gnu/store/mc6cbczwjlsnc3hlqj3kqlyhgfc8yk0c-camlboot-0.0.0-1.45045d0.drv' timed out after 3600 seconds of silence

Well, the package ’camlboot’ already have:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
      (properties
       ;; 10 hours, mostly for arm, more than 1 expected even on x86_64
       `((max-silent-time . 36000)))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and Lars pointed [3] that Cuirass does not honor this property.

WDYT?


Cheers,
