Package: jenkins.debian.org Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
I’ve recently found out that reproducible-builds nowadays fails packages which produce different output when 'nocheck' is set vs. unset. This is wrong. If (if!) a 'nocheck' build *profile* is supported by the package, then, if that build *profile* is set, the binary packages may not differ. But the 'nocheck' build option *is* allowed to have binary differences, and this is something important for various corner cases. So, please add it to DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS on either no or all builds, and investigate into setting the 'nocheck' build *profile* on only one build *iff* the package supports it. I’m not exactly sure how to actually test for that, but if it only gets added to the variable DEB_BUILD_PROFILES but not DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS, then it can just be ignored by packages not supporting the 'nocheck' *profile*.
