Hi,
Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
golang-github-go-git-go-git could not be built reproducibly.
This is because the testsuite leaves a Git worktree (or similar)
around in a .tmp directory. A patch is attached that cleans this up
after running the tests.
Hello. While I can check that the patch seems to work (if I remember well
from the tests I did several days ago), I still wonder: How it is possible
that this patch works at all?
The program is already built when the tests are executed. How does the
outcome of the tests affects the package contents? (I don't see any git
repository when I do dpkg -c on the packages, for example).
Do you remember some detail about this?
Thanks.
