Builds should be reproducible and not randomly fail.
Sure, but how we predict the outcome of a random number generator ?
Pseudorandom. You seed it, and it always produces the same output. If you want to test randomness, you can use a better test suite (like NIST's, one that won't result in false positives). If you're already using the better test suite, then the false positive is not a false positive, it's a positive, it shows some cases when the generator isn't random, and should be investigated. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-packaging+owner@opensuse.org
