Bug#672832: iceweasel: FTBFS: Build killed with signal TERM after 150 minutes of inactivity.

[Nicolas Le Cam]

Package: iceweasel
Version: 12.0-6
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
Justification: fails to build from source (but built successfully in the past)

Dear Maintainer,

Build is killed after 150 min of inactivity, see [1] for example.
This seems to be related to bz#595368.
Html test file has been removed from the makefile upstream but not the js unit associated.

Something like that should help the build process :
