Subject: epydoc: nondeterminism caused by list and file ordering

Date: Tue, 31 May 2016 21:20:23 +0000

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

Source: epydoc
Version: 3.0.1+dfsg-12
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: randomness fileordering

Dear Maintainer,

while working on the “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed
that documentation written by epydoc list several items in an order that varies
across builds.

Tha attached patch makes sure that subclass lists are traversed in a sorted
fashion, as well as that input files are processed in a deterministic way.

Once applied, more packages using epydoc, e.g. python-csb [2], can be built
reproducibly in our current experimental framework.

Please note that there are also a few more packages [3] that may be affected by other,
more specific issues. It is likely that additional patches will follow.

Many thanks,
Sascha Steinbiss

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply; I've been traveling.

I'll work to apply these patches sometime soon -- hopefully within the
next week.  I do track the reproducible status for this package, so
this is a high priority for me.

KEN

Thanks a lot for this. There might be some extra patches coming later;
I'm looking at each package that seems to be non-reproducible due to
epydoc and try to determine whether it's something to be fixed in epydoc
itself or specific to that package.

Cheers
Sascha
