[Pkg-telepathy-maintainers] telepathy-glib 0.15.5-1 test issues

[Bob Tracy]

On the Alpha platform, the "telepathy-glib" package appears to be
building correctly, but the tests are time-sensitive and some of them fail
"randomly" based on whether the package is being built on the console
(relatively fast I/O) or over a remote network connection (somewhat
slower I/O).  The problem is that the debug level for the tests is
cranked-up so #$%@! high that the debug output is slowing down the test
execution enough to trigger timeout errors.

There are two batches of tests I've seen during the package build.  The
first batch of 15 tests passes without problems.  The next batch of 58
tests is where I'm seeing problems: on the console I saw a single failure,
but over a network connection this morning I saw six failures.  All are
timeout errors.

Any way to crank down the verbosity and still perform a meaningful test?
Either that, or maybe relax the timing constraints a bit?  Otherwise, I'll
have to disable the tests just to get the package built.  N.B.: I'm not
using the class of Alpha normally used as "buildd" hosts -- mine is a
PWS 433au, which is not a fire-breather by any stretch of the
imagination.

Thanks in advance for your reply!
