Source: littlewizard Version: 1.2.2-3 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch User: reproducible-builds@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: locale X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-builds@lists.alioth.debian.org
Hi! While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed that littlewizard could not be built reproducibly. During build a script is generating a C file with a symbol list. This script sorts the list differently depending on the configured locale, which results in a differing binary. The attached patch fixes this by using the C locale in the script for iterating over the files. Regards, Reiner [1]: https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds
