OK. > However, six hours to build documentation is a bit.... excessive. That build seems to have hung... it never finished and I had to kill it. It now seems to run in ~2h. But the problem might have solved itself in a different way: I got the test suite to run properly, but it still fails on arm, so I might have to exclude that arch anyway. > Would it be saner to make a separate SRPM that builds just the > documentation, even if it uses the same source tarball?

I actually prefer for the build to be long.
