Summary: Archive member rules and GNU ar's deterministic (-D) option Project: make Submitted by: None Submitted on: Fri 07 Apr 2017 06:46:42 PM UTC Severity: 3 - Normal Item Group: Bug Status: None Privacy: Public Assigned to: None Open/Closed: Open Discussion Lock: Any Component Version: 4.1 Operating System: POSIX-Based Fixed Release: None Triage Status: None _______________________________________________________ Details: Linux distributions are beginning to enable the deterministic option when using GNU's ar. Among other things, that zeros the time field, breaking archive member rules dependence management and generating warning messages with the rules' default ar flags. I'm not sure there *is* a user-transparent way to keep the succinct archive member rules and deal with the new behavior. Not deleting the generated object files may be one, but half of (my) reason for sticking with archive member rules is the resulting cleanliness. It may be time to deprecate archive member rules. *I* like them for small projects _______________________________________________________ Reply to this item at: <http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?50754> _______________________________________________ Message sent via/by Savannah http://savannah.gnu.org/ _______________________________________________ Bug-make mailing list Bug-make@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-make
