Package: dpkg Version: 1.18.1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch User: reproducible-builds@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: umask toolchain
Hi! As part of the “reproducible builds” effort, we are curretly trying to have Debian package build identically despite being built under different umasks. dpkg creates the control.tar member of .deb files using GNU Tar. It will thus pick up the permissions of the files on the filesystem. For the specific case of control files, there is a very limited set of acceptable permissions. It seems desirable to enforce this by normalizing the recorded permissions by giving the `--mode=go=rX,u+rw,a-s` option to tar. The attached patch is based on the available master branch. The change is also part of the `pu/reproducible_builds` branch available at: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/reproducible/dpkg.git/ -- Lunar .''`. lu...@debian.org : :Ⓐ : # apt-get install anarchism `. `'` `-
