[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#863015: Patch for reproducible builds breaks build time test

[Andreas Tille]

Hi Chris,

thanks for the patch (and sorry for taking so much time to respond).
Unfurtunately if I activate the patch[1] one test
(unit_tests/unit_tests.sh) fails which is not the case if the patch
is deactivated in debian/patches/series:

...
PASS: tests/large_key.sh
PASS: tests/parallel_hashing.sh
FAIL: unit_tests/unit_tests.sh
=======================================
   jellyfish 2.2.6: ./test-suite.log
=======================================

# TOTAL: 13
# PASS:  9
# SKIP:  3
# XFAIL: 0
# FAIL:  1
# XPASS: 0
# ERROR: 0
...


It might be that the test relies somehow on the date in the json file.

Should I report this to upstream or do you want to investigate into the
test suite?  I admit I'm overwhelmed with gcc-7 and other bugs and will
not manage to track this down in any sensible time frame.

Kind regards and thanks in any case for the reprodicible build effort

     Andreas.
