Bug#1006254: mdnsd: reproducible-builds: Example Makefiles embed build paths and binary paths

[Vagrant Cascadian]

Source: mdnsd
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: buildpath usrmerge shell
X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-bugs at lists.alioth.debian.org

The build path and several binary paths are embedded in example
Makefiles shipped in the mdsnd package:

│ │ │ ├── ./usr/share/doc/mdnsd/examples/Makefile
...
│ │ │ │ -ACLOCAL = ${SHELL} '/tmp/reprotest.277oHq/const_build_path/aux/missing' aclocal-1.16
│ │ │ │ +ACLOCAL = ${SHELL} '/tmp/reprotest.277oHq/build-experiment-1/aux/missing' aclocal-1.16


Since these values may differ with the installed system, in order to use
the example Makefile, a person would have to regenerate it from
Makefile.in and/or Makefile.am, which are also provided in the package.

The attached patch fixes this by adjusting debian/mdnsd.examples to
avoid installing the example Makefile.


With this patch applied mdnsd should become reproducible on
tests.reproducible-builds.org!


Thanks for maintaining mdnsd!


live well,
