Dear Maintainer, The Salsa CI configuration for kget sets customized[1] command-line options for 'reprotest'[2], a utility used to find package reproducibility problems. Unfortunately, I think that the configured SALSA_CI_REPROTEST_ARGS arguments may be incorrect; the provided arguments _appear_ intended to disable build-path variance, but I believe that they unintentionally disable _all_ forms of reprotest variance testing. Please refer to this Reproducible Builds mailing list thread for more information: https://lists.reproducible-builds.org/pipermail/rb-general/2024-February/003247.html I'd recommend removing the SALSA_CI_REPROTEST_ARGS line entirely -- which in isolation could cause Salsa-CI reprotest to fail, due to a build-path bug reported in #1003914 -- but also then applying the patch from that bugreport to confirm and solve the problem. If that is undesirable, then as an alternative I could suggest configuring: SALSA_CI_REPROTEST_ARGS: '--variations=all,-build_path' (please note that there are _two_ changes in this line; the insertion of 'all' and adjustment of 'build-path' to 'build_path') ...to enable all forms of variation, with the exception of buildpath. Thank you, James [1] - https://salsa.debian.org/qt-kde-team/kde/kget/-/blob/c3b261bd0d740cdd89c8d06e05eb238cb746fe3d/debian/salsa-ci.yml#L7 [2] - https://salsa.debian.org/reproducible-builds/reprotest
