Hi, Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that samtools could not be built reproducibly. This is because it includes the build flags in the binary to include in --version output, but this will encode the buildpath due to dpkg-buildflags(1) embedding (for example) -ffile-prefix-map. Patch attached that normalises these paths to a placeholder entry using sed(1). [0] https://reproducible-builds.org/ Regards, -- ,''`. : :' : Chris Lamb `. `'` la...@debian.org / chris-lamb.co.uk `-
