[PKG-Openstack-devel] Bug#775229: sheepdog: please make the build reproducible

Hi!

While working on the “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed
that sheepdog could not be built reproducibly.

At build time a bash_completion file is generated with a perl script
that iterates over keys of a hash. This operation is not deterministic,
which results in a different file on each build.
The attached patch is sorting the keys to have a stable order and get
the same output.
Once applied, sheepdog can be built reproducibly in our current
experimental framework.

Regards,
 Reiner
