Package: debhelper
Version: 12.7.1
Severity: wishlist
I’ve recently gained a build reproducibility error in src:musescore where
cmake is used to first copy a few files around, generate some, and then
create a PKZIP archive from them using its built-in archiver. The files
in that archive were different in permissions.
I’ve tried setting the umask globally by doing this:
• add “SHELL:=$(abspath debian/rwrap)” to debian/rules
• create debian/rwrap (executable) with the following content:
tglase@tglase:~/Projekte/musescore $ cat debian/rwrap
#!/bin/lksh
# ${SHELL} wrapper to fix the umask
umask 022
eval "$2"
For some reason the desired effect is not observed, although
I had some debugging echos in debian/rwrap earlier whose output
was seen during a local build.
As there’s a general recommendation of using the dh wrapper
nowadays anyway, please (feature request, wishlist severity)
make it reset umask.
debian/rules has:
%:
dh $@ --buildsystem=cmake
I could probably change that to…
%:
umask 022 && exec dh $@ --buildsystem=cmake
… but everyone needs to do that then, and this is a good example
of harmonisation potential.
