Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
wand could not be built reproducibly.

This was due to the documentation including the nondeterministic
memory references in the documentation.

Patch attached that specifies these as ":exclude-members:" in Sphinx.

Hi, and thanks for the patch.

While there were several variations that failed, it still is one that
fails with your patch. The kernel variation. This is also the case
with the new upstream version that was released some days ago.

I looked at it and to me it looks like the experimental build doesn't
include ImageMagic library, which results in a different doc package
and failing testsuite.

Do you believe the current state is sufficient to make it reproducible
in the Debian archive?

Regards,
Håvard

I cannot recall my original reasoning when I filed this bug, sorry.
However, looking at the current output for diffoscope on our testing
framework, wand is (still?) only varying based on the documentation
and not the kernel variation:

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

Could you elaborate why you mention kernel variations at all? (And
'experimental'; wand is not in Debian experimental.)

Looks like some poor choice of words from my side, hope this makes it clearer.

When I save the artifacts with reprotest, they are stored in folders
called "control'' and "experiment-1". Which was the reason I called it
"experimental build". I see that this is referred to as "first build"
and "second build" here [0].
The reason I mentioned kernel variations is because when I tested the
new version (0.6.2) which includes your patch (not yet packaged in
Debian) reprotest still fails, and it fails when I use "$ reprotest
--variations=kernel ..."

Håvard

I cannot think why changing the kernel would make any difference to
the difference in the document. It may be reproducible without this
variation, it is not clear from your comment.

However, please either upload with this patch, or provide some kind of
(diffoscope?) output that I can see. Trying to guess at a distance is
not very efficient (or fun).

Thanks.

Version: 0.6.2-1

The patch supplied from Chris Lamb was good. The package builds
reproducible on all four architectures.
