Source: libpdl-io-hdf5-perl Version: 1:0.73-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch User: reproducible-bui...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: randomness X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-bui...@lists.alioth.debian.org
Hi! While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed that libpdl-io-hdf5-perl could not be built reproducibly. It iterates over a hash producing output in an unsorted order. The attached patch fixes this. Regards, Reiner [1]: https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds
