[Tim Andersson <mp+465405@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The proposal to merge ~andersson123/autopkgtest-cloud:dont-let-cache-amqp-hang into autopkgtest-cloud:master has been updated.

Description changed to:


fix: web: utilise RuntimeMaxSec to stop cache-amqp from ever hanging

cache-amqp would previously hang when there was a fault with the
semaphore queues - a brittle mechanism which we intend to fix in the
future if we decide to move back to a distributed system r.e. the
autopkgtest-web units.

Currently, with recent changes from Skia, we have disabled this
mechanism, since we're only running one web unit it's no longer
necessary. However, if we were, in the future, going to move again back
to a distributed system, these unit changes would be beneficial, and
there's no downside to having them now.

Switching the type from oneshot to simple was for a very good reason -
oneshot is not compatible with RuntimeMaxSec [1].
