Bug#932365: python-manilaclient: please make the build reproducible

[Chris Lamb]

Source: python-manilaclient
Version: 1.27.0-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed
that python-manilaclient could not be built reproducibly.

This is because the documentation runs "manilaclient" (etc) and embeds
the output into the HTML. However, as this would fail to execute due
to the lack of a correct PATH environment as well as PYTHONPATH being
set to the "." (which then would be incorrect when Make changed the
working directory), it would result in an error message being included
instead that included a (varying) absolute build path being added to
the documentation itself.

It is likely you did not see this locally during development as you
had "manilaclient" installed already and/or it's not a fatal error.


Patch attached.
