Subject: sendmail: reproducible builds: embeds build path in site.config.m4 documentation files

Date: Tue, 02 Mar 2021 18:40:08 -0800

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

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

The build path is embedded in the site.config.m4 files shipped in the
documentation of sendmail-doc and sendmail-base packages:

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

  /usr/share/doc/sendmail-base/site.config.m4.gz

  define(`confOPTIMIZE',··`-g·-O2·-ffile-prefix-map=/build/1st/sendmail-8.15.2=.·-fstack-pro..
  vs.
  define(`confOPTIMIZE',··`-g·-O2·-ffile-prefix-map=/build/2/sendmail-8.15.2/2nd=.·-fstack-pro...


The attached patch fixes this by replacing the build path with
"BUILDPATH" in debian/rules before installing the documentation.

With this patch applied, sendmail should become reproducible.


Thanks for maintaining sendmail!


live well,

Subject: [PATCH] debian/rules: Avoid embedding the build path in
 site.config.m4.

The site.config.m4 file is shipped in sendmail-doc and sendmail-base,
but should have the build path removed in the shipped file.
