|
|
Description
|
The C pre-processor macros `__DATE__`, `__TIME__`,
capture the current time, and thus will obviously make a build
unreproducible.

|
Description
|
Some packages cannot be analysed by diffoscope due to it running "forever".
Currently the diffoscope process is killed after 120 minutes.
https://reproducible.debian.net/index_breakages.html collects a list of currently
undiffable packages (as well as other issues with tests.reproducile-builds.org.

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.)

Identifier:

captures_kernel_version_via_CMAKE_SYSTEM
|
|
Description
|
Uses CMAKE_SYSTEM, which embeds `uname -sr` output; the -r (version) varies.
.
Instead, use CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME (`uname -s`), which shouldn't vary.
.
May also be triggered by use of CMAKE_HOST_SYSTEM,
CMAKE_HOST_SYSTEM_VERSION or CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION.
.

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.
.
