Hi,
Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
flit could not be built reproducibly.
This is because it:
a) It embeds a RECORD file that contains non-deterministic filename
contents. 99% sure this is being generated by build.py.
b) The manpage is being generated incorrectly, and actually is a
manual page depicting an error message:
.TH TRACEBACK "1" "July 2020" "Traceback (most recent call last):" "User
Commands"
.SH NAME
Traceback \- manual page for Traceback (most recent call last):
.SH DESCRIPTION
.SS "Traceback (most recent call last):"
.IP
File "debian/flit/usr/bin/flit", line 2, in <module>
.IP
from flit import main
.PP
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'flit'
.IP
File "debian/flit/usr/bin/flit", line 2, in <module>
Patch attached. For a), we simply delete this file and for b) we fix
the generation by setting the right/full PYTHONPATH.
