Using ruby in hurd

[Praveen A <pravi.a@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I installed Debian GNU/Hurd 2013 and I would like to congratulate
everyone who worked on this. I have not been trying hurd for some time
and it feels really good to be able to install it with a native debian
installer. I had installed it when we have a linux based installer (I
even provided some qemu images for folks to try).

I would like to use it for some ruby packaging work. I was happy to
see ruby packaged, but that's all I could find. I couldn't find ruby
package in debian-ports.org, it is available on the dvd image. Also I
can't find ruby1.9.1-dev packages. Looks like it broken again.

http://people.debian.org/~sthibault/out_of_date.txt tells me

ruby/ruby1.9.1_1.9.3.194-8.1: Failed by buildd_hurd-i386-bach
[source:out-of-date:calprio{51}:days{74}]

looking further I found

FAIL 2/942 tests failed
https://buildd.debian.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=ruby1.9.1&arch=hurd-i386&ver=1.9.3.194-8.1&stamp=1362990379

Can anyone check what these test failures mean?
