Bug#995217: maildirsync: reproducible builds: tarball in examples does not build reproducibly

[Vagrant Cascadian]

Source: maildirsync
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: umask username fileordering
X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-bugs at lists.alioth.debian.org

The username, uid, group name, gid and umask are embedded in the example
tarball of mailbalance:

  https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/diffoscope-results/maildirsync.html

  /usr/share/doc/maildirsync/examples/mailbalance-0.2.0.tar.gz

  drwxr-xr-x···0·pbuilder1··(1111)·pbuilder1··(1111)········0·2010-11-01·18:38:55.000000·mailbalance-0.2.0/
  vs.
  drwxrwxr-x···0·pbuilder2··(2222)·pbuilder2··(2222)········0·2010-11-01·18:38:55.000000·mailbalance-0.2.0/

The attached patch fixes this by instead including the files in the
examples directory directly. The files are not particularly large and
dpkg does various forms of normalization on it.


Thanks for maintaining maildirsync!


live well,
