Hi,
Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that
python-aiovlc could not be built reproducibly.
This is due to the coverage.xml file embedding a timestamp, but also
because the snippet in debian/rules that's meant to remove this file
is not quite right:
override_dh_fixperms:
dh_fixperms
- rm -f
$(CURDIR)/debian/python3-aiovlc/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/coverage.xml
+ rm -f
$(CURDIR)/debian/python3-aiovlc/usr/lib/python3*/dist-packages/coverage.xml
However, I think this could be improved and perhaps made a little more
future-proof by removing the entire dh_fixperms override and replacing
it with:
export PYBUILD_TEST_ARGS= -v tests
+export PYBUILD_AFTER_TEST = rm -rfv {build_dir}/coverage.xml
This patch is attached.
