Hi,
Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed
that gnucap-python could not be built reproducibly.
This is because it uses:
$ echo "\n"
… or similar which is not the same across dash/bash etc, resulting in
a diff of:
│ │ │ │ ├── NEWS
│ │ │ │ │ @@ -1,3 +1 @@
│ │ │ │ │ -0.0.0
│ │ │ │ │ -=====
│ │ │ │ │ -* initial release
│ │ │ │ │ +0.0.0\n=====\n* initial release
A patch is attached, although given that this NEWS entry is pretty
meaningless, it is unclear whether the best course of action would
be to simply remove its creation…
