Subject: libforms: reproducible-builds: example Makefile contains embedded paths

Date: Tue, 17 Nov 2020 00:03:14 -0800

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

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

The file /usr/share/doc/libforms-doc/html/xforms_images/Makefile.gz
contains variable build paths (e.g. /build/1st/package-version
vs. /build/2/package-version/2nd) and binary paths (e.g. /bin/grep
vs. /usr/bin/grep), which causes reproducibility issues:

  https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/build-path/

In order to use use this Makefile, a person may need to regenerate it
regardless from Makefile.am, so remove it from the package.


Thanks for maintaining libforms!


live well,

(e.g. /build/1st/package-version vs. /build/2/package-version/2nd) and
binary paths (e.g. /bin/grep vs. /usr/bin/grep), which causes
reproducibility issues:
