found 673594 1.8.7.352-2 tags 673594 + patch thanks Hi,
What about using the attached patch to time out the test-all suite if it hangs, as was done for ruby1.9.1, because its exit status is ignored anyway (some failures are expected, on all arches). I think a workaround like this is needed to at least fix the FTBFS since there are security patches and s390x stuff all waiting on it. The version of ruby1.8 in testing seems to already have this problem (it only built for kfreebsd-i386 on the 4th attempt). We can separately follow up on working out why some of the tests hang; probably thread-related races in eglibc and/or the tests themselves. Thanks, Regards, -- Steven Chamberlain ste...@pyro.eu.org
