Hi,
Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that
python-babelgladeextractor could not be built reproducibly.
This is because it ships a different binary package depending on
whether the testsuite is run or not.
Specifically, it does not remove some files (eg. test.desktop) that
are generated during the testsuite. A patch is attached that will remove
them, but if the binary package really does need this directory at runtime
for whatever reason (e.g. for autopkgtests or simply for the package to
function), then the package naturally needs to ensure that they exist
regardless of whether nocheck is specified or not.

Hi,
thanks for reporting this.

I see.
Specifically, it does not remove some files (eg. test.desktop) that
are generated during the testsuite. A patch is attached that will
remove them
Thanks, applied and uploaded. It looks like with version 0.7.0-4 the
package builds reproducibly now on unstable [1].
but if the binary package really does need this directory at
runtime for whatever reason (e.g. for autopkgtests or simply for the
package to function), then the package naturally needs to ensure
that they exist regardless of whether nocheck is specified or not.
No, it does not. Looks like your patch did just the right thing. Many
thanks for that.
Best regards
Sascha
