zlib compress bit-identical output on different archs - goal or non-goal?

2018-12-09 Thread Georg Sauthoff
Hello, during packaging of a new python-img2pdf version I noticed that 2 unit-test cases fail on aarch64. This is caused by zlib.compress() yielding different output on aarch64 and x86-64. Which triggers the failure because the unit-test case just compares the result after compression (it's a
