Package: netcf
Version: 0.2.8-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: [email protected]
Usertags: usrmerge
Dear Maintainer,
The reproducible build spotted a difference in your package when
built on a usrmerged system vs a non-merged system:
https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/netcf.html
It seems a few files contains the full path of 'ifup' and 'ifdown' found
via AC_PROG_PATH during build.
Since PATH defaults to contain /usr/sbin before /sbin the found path will
be /usr/sbin/if{up,down} on a usrmerged system, since both paths are
essentially the same thing there. This is however not desirable on
a non-merged system where it needs to be /sbin/if{up,down}.
The attached patch fixes the problem by explicitly specifying
the default path via IFUP and IFDOWN variable passed to configure
as documented in AC_PROG_PATH documentation.
(This is likely a good idea either way, since otherwise hypothetical
problems could happen for users building on their system with
/usr/local/bin/... or ~/bin/....)
An alternative way to fix this:
You're already explicitly appending :sbin to $PATH in configure.ac.
You could prepend instead of append and that should thus make
the tools be found via the path that's desired here.
This feels a bit like taking a chance to me though, so I still think
explicitly passing the correct path is the better thing to do.
Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
