The generated tarball /usr/share/doc/circlator/examples/data.tar.xz
includes the file mode of the archived files:

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

  drwxr-xr-x···0········0········0········0·2019-07-30·14:50:30.000000·data/
  vs.
  drwxrwxr-x···0········0········0········0·2019-07-30·14:50:30.000000·data/

  -rw-r--r--···0········0········0········0·2019-07-30·14:50:30.000000·data/assemble_test.dummy_reads.fa
  vs.
  -rw-rw-r--···0········0········0········0·2019-07-30·14:50:30.000000·data/assemble_test.dummy_reads.fa


The attached patch fixes this by passing the --mode argument to the tar
command used in debian/rules. Patch attached.


Thanks for maintaining circlator!


live well,
