Subject: python-matplotlib: Non-deterministic build failures on armhf
Date: Wed, 09 Dec 2015 10:38:55 -0500

Over the last month, the 'python-matplotlib' build on armhf has failed
non-deterministically 4 times due to timeout (1 hour of silence) in the
same place:

In all four cases, the timeout occurred in the same place, after
printing "reading sources... [ 2%] api/collections_api".

The same builds succeeded on later attempts, e.g.:

I've made a couple Python reproducibility enhancements on the
core-updates branch (commits c94a2864d4 and cf495c934e), which allowed
python-matplotlib to be built reproducibly.

The CI doesn't know of any recent failure for the package on armhf-linux
(see:
http://ci.guix.gnu.org/search?query=python-matplotlib%20system:armhf-linux&border-low-id=2144656).

Closing.

Thank you for the report!

Maxim
