Package: dpkg-dev Version: 1.18.23.0~reproducible2 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: build-path
Dear Maintainer, I've been asked to file this bug report so that others working on the Reproducible Builds project can better track the ongoing issue of build-path-independent reproducibility in various tools and compilers. I don't mean to imply to rush this process nor pressure you, this report is only for informational purposes. As you know, I've already contacted GCC upstream with a proposed patch: - https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2017-04/msg00513.html This is being tracked in Debian here: - https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=862113 I have some patches for dpkg that accompany the GCC patch, which may be browsed as git commits here: - https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/reproducible/dpkg.git/log/?h=pu/reproducible_builds The built packages may be downloaded here: - https://reproducible.alioth.debian.org/debian/ - https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/index_repositories.html (overview) The reproducibility status of dependent packages is being tracked on these pages: - https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/issues/unstable/captures_build_path_issue.html We're currently waiting for the GCC patch to be accepted and backported to Debian. Guillem (dpkg maintainer) has said this dpkg patch mostly looks good, needing just a few minor adjustments that I need to go dig back out of my IRC logs, which I will do when the GCC patch gets accepted upstream. Finally, note that this patch will probably supersede - https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=827155 Ximin -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (990, 'testing'), (500, 'unstable-debug'), (500, 'testing-debug'), (300, 'unstable'), (200, 'experimental'), (1, 'experimental-debug') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages dpkg-dev depends on: ii binutils 2.28-4 ii bzip2 1.0.6-8.1 ii libdpkg-perl 1.18.23.0~reproducible2 ii make 4.1-9.1 ii patch 2.7.5-1+b2 pn perl:any <none> ii tar 1.29b-1.1 ii xz-utils 5.2.2-1.2+b1 Versions of packages dpkg-dev recommends: ii build-essential 12.3 ii clang-3.9 [c-compiler] 1:3.9.1-8 ii fakeroot 1.21-3.1 ii gcc [c-compiler] 4:6.3.0-4 ii gcc-6 [c-compiler] 6.3.0-16 ii gnupg 2.1.18-6 ii gnupg2 2.1.18-6 ii gpgv 2.1.18-6 ii libalgorithm-merge-perl 0.08-3 Versions of packages dpkg-dev suggests: ii debian-keyring 2017.01.20 -- no debconf information
