Varnish package build - tests fail

[Viktor Villafuerte]

Hi James,

thanks for your answer. Excuse my ignorance though.. :) What exactly do
mean by running the test several times? In the spec file there's a
section which runs the tests. I can comment out that and skip them all..
I'm just not sure how to run them few times as you suggest. Could you
elaborate on the 'tests rerun' a little more?

thanks
