Many packages don't produce the same content after each build, because of timestamps written in some files, for example. I could easily check that they provide the same binary packages according to debdiff, but debdiff might miss several differences. A long time ago, I started working on a tool to compare binary packages in a much deeper way, but it's far from complete and would still require too much manual review. -- | Lucas Nussbaum | lu...@lucas-nussbaum.net http://www.lucas-nussbaum.net/ | | jabber: lu...@nussbaum.fr GPG: 1024D/023B3F4F | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
