Description

Some packages cannot be analysed by diffoscope due to it running "forever".
Currently the diffoscope process is killed after 120 minutes.

blacklisted_on_jenkins
|
|
Description
|
Some packages have been blacklisted in our test infrastructure because
their build hangs, takes too long, spawns processes that are not killed, or
simply because they use too many resources for our current capacity. (This
is purely practical step - we would like to test these packages.)

Description

There has been done a lot of reproducible fixes in 5.5.0, so it is worth to
wait entering this version sid before retrying.
.
qhelpgenerator inserts a timestamp into documentation (qhc) files,
which are sqlite3 databases. The timestamp used now respects
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, but is still affected by timezone.

.
sqlite3 databases appear to be reproducible in themselves, but qhelp
generator is using various file IDs which become non-deterministic due to
map access. For example
.
https://sources.debian.net/src/qt4-x11/latest/tools/assistant/lib/qhelpgenerator.cpp/?hl=742#L742
.
I suspect we just need a few sorts (and some time to build qt4-x11...)
