It looks like Buildbot doesn't have support for setting a timeout for file transfers. We could write our own file transfer step that uses rsync or similar, which would allow us to use the standard timeout mechanism. We used rsync for this in the distant past. It's a hassle from the point of view of the build master as it introduces a host of new authentication and permission issues. - Mark ___ webkit-dev mailing list webkit-dev@lists.webkit.org http://lists.webkit.org/mailman/listinfo.cgi/webkit-dev
