> This relates to bug 25598 “R packages are not bit-reproducible”.  R
> itself does not build reproducibly.  One of the reasons is that it
> includes recommended packages that are built in a random temporary
> directory.  The build paths for each of these packages is then embedded
> in the packages’ “paths.rds” files.
>
> We don’t have this problem when building the packages with the
> “r-build-system” like any other R package.
>
> This patch set adds package expressions for each of the recommended
> packages, disables building of recommended packages, and adds some of
> these packages to those R packages that need them.
>
> I’ve successfully rebuilt all R packages to make sure that these changes
> don’t break anything.
>
> I also have an unpolished patch to fix bug 25598, but it depends on this
> patch set.
