Hi Maxime,

pushed as 9d2ef7344e340747640dc00413aa6a7b054f022a and
3e6bc1edca0c7ee4e8bfe0d8e783db48d2bb647c. I added a link to the upstream
report in the comments. Doesn’t make much sense for python-debugpy
though, since we’d end up with no test suite at all.

Thank you very much,
Lars

Hi,

I noticed that some tests fail on my foreign distribution,
but not on Guix System, because they differ in their
/proc/sys/kernel/yama/ptrace_scope. Guix sets it to 0 (no limitations),
whereas most distributions default to 1 (only children can be ptrace’d),
causing a reproducibility issue. The following patches therefore disable
tests, which fail with a setting of >0.

Cheers,
Lars
