is NixOS sensitive to changes in the build directory. Debian is, and since 7.8 the build path creeps into the interface files and affects the hash: https://bugs.debian.org/785282 But you probably are not, otherwise you’d have complained when 7.8 was out, and not now :-) Greetings, Joachim -- Joachim “nomeata” Breitner [email protected] • http://www.joachim-breitner.de/ Jabber: [email protected] • GPG-Key: 0xF0FBF51F Debian Developer: [email protected]
