Please let me know if this is not the case.
Given that this change was accepted in 2019, would you consider uploading a version with the fixes applied to Debian, either by making a new upstream version, or applying the patches to an older version? Otherwise, my other Reproducible Builds team members and I will likely keep wondering why it is not yet reproducible... possibly spending more time fixing things apparently already with known fixes! live well, vagrant > commit 2d0464872cec02b53f5bb5ca2a037cb764641c1f > Author: Chris Lamb <la...@debian.org> > Date: Mon Dec 2 10:44:23 2019 +0100 > > Make the build reproducible. > > Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that > liblopsub could not be built reproducibly. > > This is because it calls "gzip" manually without the -n > flag.
