I'm not aware of any such change and we don't directly interact with kdeinit5 
in our testsuite as far as I can tell. Can you link to such a test run? I 
can't see any test on the CI that would be stuck waiting for kdeinit5.

Checked all recent builds that run the Akonadi server as part of a test, but 
haven't seen any of them stuck (or being manually terminated). But we lost all 
the build history recently, so I don't have many logs to check :(

Is there a way I could get the Docker image (or at least the Dockerfile) that 
the builds run in on the CI so I can try to reproduce this in an environment 
that is as close to the CI env as possible? It doesn't seem to happen when I 
just run the Akonadi testsuite inside my regular session - and I haven't 
noticed kdeinit5 getting killed after running Akonadi tests locally, so I 
suspects there's something else in the play here.

Anyway, if there's no easy way for me to set up the CI-like env locally, then 
probably the best way is to try to investigate this directly on the CI builder 
once it happens again, at least to see what state the whole thing is in.

Btw, is there maybe a way to set a maximum run time for a build job on Jenkins 
after which Jenkins simply kills the job? This would avoid us blocking the 
builders, at least until this is fixed properly.

Cheers,
Dan
