Hi
I have been trying to add tests for pandas-dev for arm64 in travis-ci .
Due to absence of wheels for numpy on arm64, the whole build+test suite consumes more than 50 minutes to complete .
here is the build : https://travis-ci.org/ossdev07/pandas/jobs/625636386
current timeout limit to finish a job in arm64 is 50 minutes, but that is a bit low for arm64 builds.
I’m estimating it will take 1 hour 20 minutes .
Is there a way to request extension of timeout limit for arm64 ?
How about using deb packages conditionally instead of python -m pip install, for example for only cases that take longer time?
In my understanding, pip install compiles binaries from the source code. But apt-get install just installs compiled binaries.
I think this saves much time.
Thanks for reaching out. I’ll contact you via DM about build times. Please take into consideration tips from @native-api and @junaruga (much appreciated!) - they’re spot on on speeding up your build, which not only allows to avoid timeout issues, but above all shortens your own time of waiting for the build to come through.
