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

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

The home directory of the build user is embedded in /usr/bin/gentoo:

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

The attached patch to src/Makefile.am fixes this by adding setting the
configuration option to a fixed value.

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

Thanks for maintaining gentoo!

live well,
  vagrant
