Notes for eclipse-cdt-pkg-config - reproducible builds result

Version annotated: 1.0.0~git
Identified issues:
Identifier: snapshot_placeholder_replaced_with_timestamp_in_pom_properties
Description pom.xml uses a like 0.1-SNAPSHOT which is then replaced with the
timestamp in the filename of the finished .jar. For example
/usr/share/eclipse/dropins/cdt-pkg-config/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.pkgconfig_0.8.0.201506071017.jar
Identifier: captures_build_path
Description Captures build path, e.g., /build/1st/foo-42.0 v. /build/foo-42.0/2nd
.
Until early 2024 we varied the build path when testing packages from unstable
and experimental, which we have stopped doing now as the build path is recorded
as part of the environment and thus can be used when rebuilding.
.
This issue is kept here for the time being.
.
This issue is only for miscellaneous issues which need individual fixes,
please create new issues for specific issues, e.g. gcc_captures_build_path.
.
Here follows some general tips for packages using the standard GNU toolchain:
.
If using autoconf, make sure you call ./configure via a relative and not absolute path.
.
If your issue is related to using the `__FILE__` macro, or the recording of
--debug-prefix-map flags in non-GCC non-debugging output, this is what is
fixed by our patch mentioned above; you should not need to fix it
specifically in your package.
