Reproducible builds folks: Reproducible builds: week 48 in Stretch cycle
What happened in the reproducible
builds effort between March 20th and March 26th:
Toolchain fixes
- Sebastian Ramacher uploaded breathe/4.2.0-1 which makes its output deterministic. Original patch by Chris Lamb, merged upstream.
- Rafael Laboissiere uploaded octave/4.0.1-1 which allows packages to be built in place and avoid unreproducible builds due to temporary build directories appearing in the
.oct
files.
-fdebug-prefix-map
to clang to match GCC, another patch against gcc-5 to backport the removal of -fdebug-prefix-map
from DW_AT_producer
, and finally by proposing the addition of a normalizedebugpath
to the reproducible
feature set of dpkg-buildflags
that would use -fdebug-prefix-map
to replace the current directory with .
using -fdebug-prefix-map
.
Sergey Poznyakoff merged the --clamp-mtime
option so that it will be featured in the next Tar release. This option is likely to be used by dpkg-deb
to implement deterministic mtimes for packaged files.

i386
build nodes have been setup by converting 2 of the 4 amd64
nodes to i386
. (h01ger)
Package reviews
92 reviews have been removed, 66 added and 31 updated in the previous week.
New issues: timestamps_generated_by_xbean_spring, timestamps_generated_by_mangosdk_spiprocessor.
Chris Lamb filed 7 FTBFS bugs.
Misc.
On March 20th, Chris Lamb gave a talk at FOSSASIA 2016 in Singapore.
The very same day, but a few timezones apart, h01ger did a presentation at LibrePlanet 2016 in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
Seven GSoC/Outreachy applications were made by potential interns to work on various aspects of the reproducible builds effort. On top of interacting with several applicants, prospective mentors gathered to review the applications.
