Hi Julien,

* Julien Puydt <julien.pu...@gmail.com> [2021-05-17 09:01]:
I tried to create a testing sbuild and compile sagemath 9.2-2 with it,
and it worked so unless I made a mistake in my setup, something made
that bug go away...

Can someone independently give it a try?

I triggered reproducible-builds again:

https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/sagemath.html

Success: 40 tests failed, up to 200 failures are tolerated
Success: 5 tests failed, up to 200 failures are tolerated

so not much changed comparing to two weeks ago and my conclusion still holds:

* Jochen Sprickerhof <jspri...@debian.org> [2021-05-04 13:22]:
Success: 41 tests failed, up to 200 failures are tolerated
Success: 5 tests failed, up to 200 failures are tolerated

The 200 is set in debian/rules:

https://salsa.debian.org/science-team/sagemath/-/commit/6088e9f2abc7ae99a8d07760ceee6fb6aac7bb54

and sounds a little arbitrary. Sadly the state upstream seems not to be much better:

https://github.com/sagemath/sage/tree/9.2

13 failing, 17 cancelled, and 70 successful checks

(I did not look into them.)

So I think the question is rather if the test suite gives an appropriate view on the quality of the software. If it does, I assume it is not appropriate for a Debian stable release. Contrary if we assume the test suite being broken, we could disable it completely rather then producing random FTBFS.


Cheers Jochen
