Package: libglib-perl Version: 3:1.305-2 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch User: reproducible-builds@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: toolchain randomness
Hi! While working on the “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed that libgtk2-perl, libgoo-canvas-perl, and libgnome2-perl could not be built reproducibly because the pod files generated by libglib-perl contain signal lists in random order. The attached patch sorts the result of Glib::Type->list_signals by signal name before generating the pod. Cheers, akira [1]: https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds
