[Rd] R 3.5.0 fails its regression test suite on Linux/x86_64

Hi, I just tried to upgrade Nixpkgs to R 3.5.0, but unfortunately the new version fails its regression test suite. We configure the build using the flags "--without-recommended-packages", in case that's relevant. You can see a complete build log with all relevant information at [1]. Anyway, the te

[Rd] Test suite failures in R-devel_2017-02-25_r72256

Hi, I tried compiling the latest pre-release for R 3.3.3 for the NixOS Linux distribution [1], but the build fails during the "make check" phase because of the following 2 issues: 1) The "tools" test in "tests/Examples" requires network access, which it doesn't have in our build environment. T

Hi Martin, > Is it necessary to also run the 'make check' part in that restricted > environment? Or could that ('checking") not get more priviledges? in NixOS, there is no way to run any kind of build process in an environment that has network access. On one hand, that is a security considerati

[Rd] R 3.1.1 and 3.1.2 both fail their test suites

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)

Hi Duncan, > I don't think we should be removing tests for everybody to allow a few > people to test a build of R that none of us actually use. no tests need to be removed. All that needs to be done is to distinguish tests that require the recommended packages from those that don't. Then users
