I see frequent timeouts on this bot -- can the timeout be increased?

Thank you for the service offered!

Hi Davide,

Increasing the timeout is not ideal. We need to fix the problem in a
different way.

Our other ARM bots are using CMake 3.2 + Ninja 1.5, which gets rid of
one source of time outs (slow testing), so that may be one way out.

For now, please ignore any timeout on bots, as they happen not just
with this one. :)

cheers,

What's the problem with increasing the timeout? Asking people to ignore
buildbot mails does not seem right. If the buildbot is flaky I believe
the buildbot owner should ensure it shuts up until the problems have
been resolved and the buildbot has a low false positive rate again.

Best,
Tobias
