[pkg-bacula-devel] Request to sponsor 5.2.6+dfsg-2 to backports

[Alexander Golovko]

Hi!

1. Some files in bacula packages are build-specific. It contain, for
example, information about build time.
This can be simply detected by building packages twice by the same
command and compare results.

There are next files:

bscan, bcopy, btape binaries 
	(in bacula-sd-<dbtype> and bacula-dd-<dbtype>-dbg packages)
bacula-sd, bextract, bls
	(in bacula-sd and bacula-sd-dbg packages)



2. I build packages from tag debian/5.2.6+dfsg-1_bpo60+1:

$ git checkout debian/5.2.6+dfsg-1_bpo60+1
$ git-buildpackage --git-dist=squeeze --git-pbuilder
--git-no-pristine-tar --git-ignore-new

and compare them with Bart and Luca packages:

http://sultan.timedout.org/~bart/debian/barts-squeeze-backports/
http://people.debian.org/~gismo/tmp/GISMO_second/



3. Bart packages differ from my only in build-specific files and
in /usr/share/doc/bacula-common/examples/nagios/check_bacula/Makefile.gz

Last file differ, because Bart has ccache installed on build system.

debdiff show differences in "Installed size" fields, but after
unpacking my and Bart packages their have identical sizes ("du -scx").



4. But Luca packages has more differences from my.

It differ from my in all or near all ELF-files.

Differences look like they only in headers, not in generated code
(it is stracge, but i use "diff -a" for see this).

Maybe this is because of Luca build system didn't upgraded to last
squeeze?
