[Reproducible-builds] new armhf node (Odroid-C1+)

2015-12-05 Thread Vagrant Cascadian
It might not come online for real until Sunday evening (just need to
move it into place with all the others), but figured I'd announce it
now:

odc1-armhf-rb.debian.net:
Odroid-C1+, quad-core Amlogic (meson8b? cortex-a5), 1GB ram, ~60GB USB3 SATA SSD
ssh port: 2231
ssh fingerprints:
256 9e:09:96:a8:98:b6:a2:3b:36:16:eb:a3:28:5f:df:e9 
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key.pub (ECDSA)
2048 82:ee:b4:5f:00:36:05:f5:2d:ed:9e:96:2b:d1:52:a2 
/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key.pub (RSA)

This is the first one running an older version of linux, 3.10, and using
the kernel package from odrobian, rather than a kernel from debian, or a
lightly/moderately patched kernel based on debian's kernel packaging.

The u-boot is terribly old...

This one has been a bit finicky to set up, but hopefully it'll add a few
more CPU cycles to the build network...


live well,
  vagrant

This code path is in a private function that is only used during the
build (by Perl::APIReference::Generator) to serialize API documentation
structures inline into the module in a __DATA__ section, to avoid parsing
perlapi.pod files at runtime.

I doubt the canonical representation is much slower to decode, but that
phase (API documentation lookups) doesn't seem like a performance critical
thing to me.

A hypothetical performance critical subclass of
Perl::APIReference::Generator might suffer, but IMO this is very
contrived.

The old Data-Dumper based implementation used to set
$Data::Dumper::Sortkeys, so the loss of reproducibility is a regression.

I've also forwarded the patch upstream, so the author can protest
if he judges this loss of performance unacceptable.

I hope this addresses your concerns.

I wonder if it's wise to patch the module itself in such a permanent
way instead of maybe adding a switch and setting canonical=1 only
during the build or the running of the test suite.

Maybe users of that module won't be happy if canonical=1 is hardcoded
that way, e.g. for (guessed) performance reasons as the above likely
includes sorting which always has an performance impact at some scale.

Regards, Axel

[Reproducible-builds] Bug#807111: libperl-apireference-perl: Make the stored data reproducible between builds

2015-12-05 Thread Niko Tyni
Package: libperl-apireference-perl
Version: 0.21-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: randomness
X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-builds@lists.alioth.debian.org

This module recently switched to using Sereal::Encoder instead of
Data::Dumper to store pre-parsed data. The stored data representation
now varies between builds.  The attached patch fixes this, rendering
the build reproducible again.

See https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds for more information
about the "reproducible builds" effort.

Subject: [PATCH] Make the stored data reproducible between builds

The 'canonical' option makes Sereal::Encoder produce serialized data
structures that don't vary between builds.  This makes the build
result reproducible.

Hi David,

Thanks for closing #779588. However, we've now added even more variation
in our test framework, exposing that the fix was incomplete.

Another patch is attached.
