| 11:15 | <sunweaver> alkisg: no problem at all.
| |
| 11:15 | vagrantc: if alkisg approves #659 upstream, could you cherry-pick that change to make "ltsp kernel" work for people who have /tmp on tmpfs? Thanks.
| |
| 11:16 | (cherry-pick to LTSP in Debian, that is)

| 19:41 | <vagrantc> heh. was looking into the reproducibility issue with ltsp and lamby beat me to it :)
| |
| 19:48 | <alkisg> A perfect job too, with an upstream pr...
| |
| 21:08 | Although it might make sense for the build environment to take care about dates and timezones, instead of each separate developer code
| |
| 21:10 | <vagrantc> normalizing the build environment is definitely useful, but building code reproducibly shouldn't depend on it
| |
| 21:10 | (or in this case, manpages)
| |
| 21:11 | it's also nigh-impossible to force a date ... you can set the build to a starting time, but depending on how long the build takes, the amount of parallelism, etc. you might end up embedding a different timestamp
| |
| 21:12 | fixing things in the toolchains ... e.g. fixing go-md2man is an option
| |
| 21:12 | and if you try to freeze the date to a specific time, various buildsystems will fail to work
| |
| 21:13 | alkisg: i wonder if the switch to go-md2man was what changed ... earlier it "just worked"
| |
| 21:14 | other than a fluke, ltsp has been building reproducibly for quite a while https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/history/amd64/ltsp.html
| |
| 22:19 | alkisg: so ... should i release a new upstream version or fork the debian packaging to include the patch?
| |
| 22:20 | * vagrantc can even fork it into a debian/sid branch | |

| 23:45 | <vagrantc> uploaded a -2 version to debian unstable, made a debian/bookworm branch (since it's targeting bookworm), and cherry-picked the relevent commits into the main branch
