Hi, On the beginning of the week I improved two patches I had sent on the previous week upon Lunar's suggestion. They are the following: - https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=788747 - https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=788752
On both cases the inital patch removed the usage of C __DATE__ and __TIME__ timestamps from the build. On one package this caused the manpages to be malformed. On the other one, it removed a field in a generated xml. The improved patches maintain the timestamps in the source code and allows them to be set to a fixed date, which in the case of the debian build is set to the last changelog date, making the packages build reproducibly. On Tuesday I attended the second bi-weekly irc meeting about reproducible builds in Debian. (I also attended the first one, but forgot to mention in my weekly report). The purpose of these meetings is to discuss the current state of the project, bring up issues and share what other members are working on. The result of the first meeting can be found here: - http://meetbot.debian.net/debian-reproducible/2015/debian-reproducible.2015-06-03-19.03.html The result of the second meeting can be found here: - http://meetbot.debian.net/debian-reproducible/2015/debian-reproducible.2015-06-16-17.01.html This week I had two final exams and I will have two presentations and one deliverable on Monday from my university course. Because of this I wasn't able to do much work this week. I'll be finished on Monday, so I'll be able to dedicate much more time to GSoC. For next week my plan is the following: - Add some information in the wiki regarding the 'C macro timestamp' issue (and maybe on the page regarding the issue 'packages not using dh_build') - Continue working on fixing packages with the 'C macro timestamp' issue - Start to discuss with my mentor and other members of the project on what can I focus now that I'll have more time to work on harder issues. Regards, -- Dhole
