Hi, I maintain the R packages in the NixOS Linux distribution [1]. A while ago, I attempted to update to version 3.1.1, but I ran into the following test suite failure:
| Testing examples for package 'tools' | comparing 'tools-Ex.Rout' to 'tools-Ex.Rout.save' ... | 452c452 | < character(0) | --- | > [1] "Matrix" "nlme" "mgcv" | 856c856 | < character(0) | --- | > [1] "lattice" | 865c865 | < character(0) | --- | > [1] "R (>= 2.15.1)" | Testing examples for package 'utils' | Error: testing 'utils' failed I reported that issue at [2], and waited for something to happen. Now, version 3.1.2 comes out and I try to update again, but it has the exact same error. Apparently, no-one cares about the problem we've run into? Now, I wonder how to proceed. It doesn't look like this issue is going to be fixed any time soon. So I guess I should disable the "make check" phase in NixOS and ship software to our users that doesn't pass its own self-test?
