Hi Frederic,

Thank you (and Andreas) for merging the patch and the subsequent
package upload.

Test results on tests.reproducible-builds.org for both pyfai
versions 2025.12.1-1 and 2025.12.1-2 in unstable indicate that
there is still some build nondeterminism remaining here.

In particular, the HTML-based API reference documentation in the
python-pyfai-doc binary package can differ around the list of
calibrants following a "Calibrants available" proviso; this may
be due to varying order of directory-listing results (a factor
that the tests.reproducible-builds.org infrastructure does
intentionally randomise, by using disorderfs).

I'll try to inspect this in more detail soon.

Regards,
James
