Notes about issue randomness_in_r_rdb_rds_databases in experimental
| Identifier: | randomness_in_r_rdb_rds_databases |
|---|---|
| Suites: | unstable / trixie / bookworm / bullseye / experimental |
| Description: |
R creates .rdb files and .rds with some randomness. They are a serialisation of some sorts, related to lazy loading of modules? Randomness seems to come from using absolute paths in .rd[bs] files. . Is not related to https://bugs.debian.org/774031 / r_base_appends_built_header_to_description_files . We have a pending patch to fix most of these (463/478) packages at the time of writing) upstream in R: . https://stat.ethz.ch/pipermail/r-devel/2017-April/074138.html . When this is accepted into R upstream, commit 28d4af25 may be (un-)reverted to remove these packages. In the meantime, please do not remove this issue, nor mark it as deterministic, nor untag these packages. . The remaining ~15 packages are not completely fixed by this patch, so this issue should remain, even when our upstream patch is accepted. These packages will need to be investigated and fixed individually, see our blog post on how to do that: . https://reproducible-builds.org/news/2017/05/03/reproduciing-r-packages/ |
