Hi!

While working on the “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed
that choqok could not be built reproducibly.

The attached patch sets the Add export LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 to the rules file
to make the build reproducible.

Cheers,
Scarlett

Hi Scarlett! I really don't mind adding such a simple line, but I would like 
to know why is it needed :)

I would expect buildd's chroots to always have the same locale. And even if 
they didn't, why choqok would behave differently due to it? Is it really a bug 
in choqok's build process or a bug somewhere else affecting choqok's build 
process?

Kinds regards, Lisandro.

Hi Lisandro,

I am more than happy to forward all the emails and IRC logs ( I have even
worked with upstream, as you may or may not know I have connections there )
In short, this is qt4, most upstream devs are very over qt4, I could not
find a kf5 package for this particular package. This is the best solution
for this.
If you have any questions feel free to ping me on IRC...
Cheers,
Scarlett

Subject: why to prevent locales variation…

Hi Lisandro,

it's true that the buildds build with the same locale (atm?) but we also
want to support reproducible rebuilds by individuals who might have
*any* locale set (eg. because they want to see error messages in their
locale).

Sometimes varying locale only causes harmless unreproducible issues but
we also have seen quite many cases where this locale is leaked into generated
documation and sometimes even in binaries, and sometimes builds even
fail under some locales…

The patch for locales appears no longer necessary:

  https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/history/choqok.html

The only builds that fail to build reproducibly are in unstable and
experimental, where build paths are varied. In the
testing/stable/oldstable distributions, it appears to build reproducibly
for some years now.

The remaining build path issues tested in unstable/experimental are
trivial to solve:

  https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2022/02/msg00050.html

  https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/issues/unstable/cmake_rpath_contains_build_path_issue.html

But since that is an almost entirely unrelated issue, I'll close this
bug.


live well,
