My buildfarm animals override these:
extra_config =>{
DEFAULT => [
"authentication_timeout = '600s'",
"wal_receiver_timeout = '18000s'",
"wal_sender_timeout = '18000s'",
],
},
build_env =>{
PGCTLTIMEOUT => 18000,
},
Each of those timeouts caused failures before I changed it. For animals fast
enough to make them irrelevant, I've not yet encountered a disadvantage.

That is peculiar.
