Emmanuel Bourg commented on MCOMPILER-397: ------------------------------------------ I've opened a PR with the patch currently applied to maven-compiler-plugin in Debian. > Use relative paths in jpms.args to make the builds reproducible > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MCOMPILER-397 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MCOMPILER-397 > Project: Maven Compiler Plugin > Issue Type: Improvement > Affects Versions: 3.8.1 > Reporter: Emmanuel Bourg > Priority: Major > Labels: reproducibility > > The {{jpms.args}} file generated since the version 3.7 contains absolute > paths, for example here is the file generated for jaxb-core: > {code} > --add-modules > java.xml.bind > --upgrade-module-path > /home/ebourg/jaxb/jaxb-ri/core/target/endorsed > {code} > The absolute path affects the reproducibility of the builds. Someone else > rebuilding the project is unlikely to have the same base path and will not > get a byte identical artifact. I suggest using a relative path instead > (starting at the root of the project or at the root of the module) and > normalizing the path separators (such that builds on Windows and Unix > generate the same file). -- This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.10#820010)
