Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
opari2 could not be built reproducibly.

Patch attached that exports CFLAGS from dpkg-buildflags(1), ensuring
that -fdebug-prefix-map (and similar) to the underlying build system.

Patch attached.

Thanks for the patch!

I'm wondering, though, how it is that the salsa reprotest CI didn't
catch it:

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/opari2/-/jobs/3675809

Is there some salsa-ci option that I should enable to make it more
picky?

Hi Samuel,

That's a good question and I don't actually know the answer. :(

Indeed, I'm not actually that familiar with reprotest myself, so I'm
likely not the best person to ask. Could you quickly try the
reproducible-builds@lists.alioth.debian.org mailing list?

  INFO:reprotest:build "experiment-1": FIX environment, FIX build_path, ...

Something is telling reprotest to not vary build paths. I also see weird
things suggesting the standard build path reprotest uses is duplicated:

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/opari2/-/jobs/3696823#L473

  make[1]: Entering directory '/tmp/reprotest.57Bwiu/const_build_path/const_build_path'

Normally, there would just be a single "const_build_path" subdir. I
noticed this issue on one of the packages I maintain, but haven't poked
at it yet.

This suggests to me the salsa-ci reprotest jobs are somehow manually
adjusting the build paths in some way above-and-beyond how reprotest
normally varies the build path? We probably should follow-up with the
salsa-ci folks...


The example for the salsa-ci suggests that build paths variations are
enabled by default under the "Adding extra arguments to reprotest":

https://salsa.debian.org/salsa-ci-team/pipeline/-/tree/master#adding-extra-arguments-to-reprotest

  variables:
    SALSA_CI_REPROTEST_ARGS: --variations=-build_path

You could try inverting it, and passing --variations=+build_path


live well,

That seems to be working indeed:

https://salsa.debian.org/debian/opari2/-/jobs/3702025

I let the reproducibility team discuss with CI about really having
--variations=+all enabled by default :)
