Package: netmrg
Version: 0.20-7.2
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
While working on Reproducible Builds effort[0], I found that netmrg
could not be built reproducibly because in the var/lib/rrd/Makefile.am, rrdtool
is picking current time
to create the database. So, in order to make it reproducible, need to
pass '--start' argument with value as 'SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH'[1] to the
rrdtool. Please find attached patch below for the changes in the
Makefile.am.
But the changes can be implemented only if netmrg is upgraded to follow
latest debian/rules and debian/compat because currently it won't pick any
changes in the Makefile as it's following old debian rules and
debian/compat(i.e. equal to 5) and so it gets the Makefile shipped in the
tarball. So, once the debian/rules and debian/compat
(>=10) are upgraded to work with latest debhelper, dh-autoreconf can
function and regenerate Makefile on every build and therefore, the
changes in the patch(given below) can be implemented and can work
towards making netmrg reproducible.
Please let me know if you have any questions regarding this.
