Hi, I don't know too much about debian packaging, but this sounds really strange to me. I don't see any reasonable justification to include test suite output in a binary package. And not just for reproducibility reasons, I simply think packages shouldn't contain needless cruft that increases complexity and size. They should contain what's required to run the package plus documentation, man-pages etc., but not artifacts from the building and development process.
I think the reasonable way to handle this is to provide the test output at a stable URL and reference it. -- Hanno Böck https://hboeck.de/ mail/jabber: ha...@hboeck.de GPG: FE73757FA60E4E21B937579FA5880072BBB51E42 _______________________________________________ Reproducible-builds mailing list Reproducible-builds@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/reproducible-builds
