Log:
makefs(8): Clarify the comment concerning seeding.
Avoid giving the impression makefs currently supports reproduceable
builds.
Thanks!
It might make sense to seed based on SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
(https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/) if set, and
later on we ought to add an option to set the seed on the command
line.
Interesting. FWIW, NetBSD did some other changes but they basically
removed the seeding which may be mildly dangerous in this case
(makefs uses random() in other places without seeding).
But, there are a lot of other reproducible build tasks that are
probably more important to tackle before this.
Yes, I am not really very interested in reproducible builds but this
is one of the cases where we cannot go blindly replacing random()
with arc4random().
Pedro.
