Subject: strip-nondeterminism: does not strip nondeterminism from /SYM64/ ar entries

Date: Wed, 09 Nov 2016 21:28:50 +0100

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

Package: strip-nondeterminism
Version: 0.028-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

strip-nondeterminism does not strip the /SYM64/ timestamp from the attached
files, which are produced by building the glibc source package.

This is probably also a bug in binutils, but I will need to check the glibc
build scripts to make sure they are not passing weird flags to ar(1) to be sure.

Hi Ximin,

> does not strip nondeterminism from /SYM64/ ar entries

Can you clarify whether the attachments to the report are testcases; are
the two files meant to be an input+expected pair, or… ?

I've just noticed #781262 too FYI :)

I can't remember exactly now, but possibly they were outputs of the glibc build process, when my build machine was being affected by #843210.

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=843210

My thinking was that strip-nondeterminism should have automatically fixed this, but perhaps it's best to leave it out, so that we catch non-deterministic upstream tools.

The attached files can still be used as test cases in case we want to add this behaviour in the future:

$ PYTHONPATH=. python3 -m diffoscope.main ~/ext/misc/libBrokenLocale.a.*

After processing with strip-nondeterminism (if we want to add this behaviour) the diff should be 0.

Subject: downgrading severity

Date: Wed, 24 May 2017 12:17:56 +0200

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

control: severity -1 normal
thanks

Hi,

downgrading the severity because not being able to strip determinism from
a few files present in very few packages doesn't have a major impact on the
usability of this package. (It's actually closer to wishlist…)

cheers,
