_______________________________________________________
Details:
While working on reproducible builds for openSUSE, I found that
the grub2 package's grub.xen differed in every build.
It is generated by
./grub-mkstandalone --grub-mkimage=./grub-mkimage -o grub.xen -O x86_64-xen -d
grub-core/
/boot/grub/grub.cfg=/home/abuild/rpmbuild/SOURCES/grub2-xen-pv-firmware.cfg
which embeds mtimes of files and also uses indeterministic readdir order in
add_tar_file
The mtimes can be fixed with the attached patch.
Can POSIX scandir be used in that code?
That could solve the readdir issue.
