Source: lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings Version: 1.2.0-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: randomness X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Hi! While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed that lightdm-gtk-greeter-settings could not be built reproducibly. It writes a config file with elements in random order. The attached patch fixes this by sorting the dictionary before writing its elements. Regards, Reiner [1]: https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds
