Hi,
Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
freesas could not be built reproducibly.
This is because if HOME is not writable (or does not exist), then the
manpages generated by html2man in debian/rules contain a warning
message that reference a randomly-generated path name. For example:
Matplotlib created a temporary config/cache directory at
\fI\,/tmp/matplotlib\-89fw1_fi\/\fP because the default path
(/nonexistent/first\-build/.config/matplotlib) is not a writable
directory; it is highly recommended to set the MPLCONFIGDIR
environment variable to a writable directory, in particular to speed
up the import of Matplotlib and to better support multiprocessing
The "matplotlib\-89fw1_fi" is, of course, nondeterminstic.
Patch attached that sets HOME to a known-writable location.
