Hi,

thanks for looking into the problem.

A good move, then.
(Is it sure that inode numbers differ, too ? :))

I assume that the libburn failure of 2016-08-22 23:30 means that the
successes of libisofs 2016-08-22 23:43 and of libisoburn 23:41 confirm
that these two libraries are ok.

Hard to say. It is tradition since years. Time enough to get addicted.
I'd prefer to keep and fix it.

  OUTPUT_DIRECTORY       = @abs_top_builddir@

I wonder why libisofs and libisoburn have empty text there.
8 years ago, Mario Danic set it with the comment
"Hopefully made out-of-tree building possible"
  http://libburnia-project.org/changeset/2045/libburn/trunk/doc/doxygen.conf.in
9 years ago i copied the file from libburn to libisoburn while it
was still without abs_top_builddir.
I never experienced problems. But probably i never built "out-of-tree".

Well, if libisoburn is ok for reproducible-builds then this is the way
to go with libburn. I will test and commit upstream. 


Have a nice day :)

Thomas
