Subject: rdist: reproducible-builds: build path embedded in /usr/bin/rdist

Date: Sat, 08 Oct 2022 16:24:28 -0700

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Source: rdist
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: buildpath
X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-bugs@lists.alioth.debian.org

The build path is embedded in /usr/bin/rdist:

  https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/diffoscope-results/rdist.html

  /build/1st/rdist-6.1.5/src/rdist.c:105
  vs.
  /build/2/rdist-6.1.5/2nd/src/rdist.c:105

The attached patch fixes this by passing the default CFLAGS via the
CFLAGS_OS variable when calling make.

According to my local tests, with this patch applied, rdist should build
reproducibly on tests.reproducible-builds.org!

Thanks for maintaining rdist!

live well,
  vagrant
