[maemo-developers] Problems with autobuilder?

[From: Niels Breet]

Hi,

It seems that qwerty12(Tar & feathers will come later :) killed the server
by submitting a package which does a massive amount of parallel build
threads.

I'm trying to see if I can get it killed off and get behavior back to normal.

Normally your build should not wait that long, unless there is something
big building in front of it.

You can see the queues here:
https://garage.maemo.org/extras-assistant/index.php

UNKNOWN status usually means that something unkown has happened to the
build. We need to find out what exactly happened to trigger that.
