The transfer of the snapcraft snap in the master travis jobs gets stuck
Metadata
Current evaluation
Merged canonical/snapcraft#1808 (aec7f8953), adding a 180-second timeout so CI continues when snap transfers fail, working around the stuck master-job transfer.
Resolution: closed resolved
Reason: PR canonical/snapcraft#1808 was merged as commit aec7f8953. It capped snap-transfer attempts at 180 seconds and tolerated failure, preventing master Travis jobs from hanging until the external timeout.

Issue body
For some weird reason, the transfer of the snap works on pull requests but on master it gets stuck. After 10 minutes, travis kills the job.
