Source: sbuild Version: 0.65.2-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch User: reproducible-bui...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: toolchain buildpath
Hi, While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed that sbuild by default uses random build directories to build packages. This makes all packages which save the information of the build directory unreproducible. The attached patch allows users to specify a deterministic build path by using the new command line option --build-path or the configuration variable $build_path in the ~/.sbuilrc. The new option build-path might be confused with the deprecated option build-dir. Is there any better way to name the new option? Or is it not confusing?

>From 1538db1cbc7442858ee391cf95ccdbdc7d44c543 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: akira <marival...@gmail.com> Date: Mon, 29 Jun 2015 23:53:43 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Add option to specify a custom build path Options --build-path and BUILD_PATH allow to specify a custom build path. This new option is useful for the reproducible builds project [1] because some packages save the build directory and sbuild by default uses random build directories to build packages. The TODO note in file Build.pm was fixed with this patch.
