Dear Tom,
I see that RPMS for R 3.4.0 are not successfully built on Fedora, nor
on RHEL 7.
https://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=1230
When I build with mock on Fedora 25 I also get a build failure. R is
not able to establish the time zone inside the chroot and this triggers
a regression tests which is new in R 3.4.0. Specifically, in file
tests/reg-tests-1d.R this test fails:
## PR#17186 - Sys.timezone() on some Debian-derived platforms
(S.t <- Sys.timezone())
if(is.na(S.t) || !nzchar(S.t)) stop("could not get timezone")
## has been NA_character_ in Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS
The work-around is to set the environment variable TZ to any non-empty
string before running make check, in the %check section of the SPEC
file, e.g.
TZ="Europe/Paris" make check
best regards
Martyn
