Source: comix Version: 4.0.4-1 Severity: important Tags: patch User: reproducible-builds@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: randomness X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-builds@lists.alioth.debian.org
Hi, While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [0], we have noticed that comix could not be built reproducibly as it ships pyc files instead of using an install-time helper to compile them. This is additonally against Policy 3.7 [1], hence the severity. The attached patch removes these files from the build system, but there is really no obvious reason not to switch to dh-python, etc. If there is, please document it in debian/rules or debian/README.Source. Once applied, comix can be built reproducibly in our reproducible toolchain.
