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

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

The build path and various binary paths are embedded in
/usr/share/doc/libbdd-dev/examples/solitare/Makefile:

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

  ACLOCAL·=·${SHELL}·'/build/1st/buddy-2.4+dfsg/tools/missing'·aclocal-1.16
  vs.
  ACLOCAL·=·${SHELL}·'/build/2/buddy-2.4+dfsg/2nd/tools/missing'·aclocal-1.16

  EGREP·=·/bin/grep·-E
  vs.
  EGREP·=·/usr/bin/grep·-E

The attached patch fixes this by removing the example Makefile, which
would have to be regenerated anyways to match the running system.

If removing the example Makefile is not viable, it might be possible to
sanitize the build paths, and add relevent arguments to configure
(e.g. EGREP='/bin/grep -e') to use the specified paths.

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

Thanks for maintaining buddy!

live well,

Subject: [PATCH] debian/rules: Remove example Makefile containing build paths
 and various binary paths.

As the Makefile would need to be regenerated from Makefile.am or
Makefile.in in order to match the running system, remove it.
