Source: tcl8.5 Version: 8.5.19-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: locale X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Hi! While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed that tcl8.5 could not be built reproducibly. While creating the static library, sorts the files from the glob differently depending on the configured locale. The attached patch fixes this by setting LC_ALL to C before.
