Hi Praveen.  I’m trying to fix various AUTORM problems with a lot of Ruby 
packages 
and a lot of them are caused by test failures in ruby-hitimes.  I’ve made a 
patch and 
pushed it to alioth.  Would you be able to review and upload if you think this 
is OK?  

I’ve simply disabled the tests that fail based on how timing latency may be 
introduced 
into the test process by a loaded or insufficiently powerful test machine.  
This is
mostly tests that do something like time how long it takes to do a half-second 
sleep
then check that the measured time is within 0.01 or 0.02 seconds of the 
expected time.
Obviously this will fail for heavily loaded or slow machines.

This is kind of unfortunate, but increasing the window just makes the problem 
less
likely and doesn’t actually fix it.


Thanks!

Tim.
