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

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

  /build/1st/xxkb-1.11.1/xxkb.c:73
  vs.
  /build/2/xxkb-1.11.1/2nd/xxkb.c:73

The attached patch to debian/rules fixes this by adding a dh_auto_build
override that passes the default CFLAGS as CCOPTIONS.

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

Thanks for maintaining xxkb!

live well,
