[Pkg-electronics-devel] Bug#977416: klayout: reproducible builds: /usr/bin/klayout broken when /bin/sh points to bash

[Vagrant Cascadian]

Source: klayout
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org

When /bin/sh points to bash, the generated /usr/bin/klayout contains the
'\n' character intended instead of the intended newline.

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

  ./usr/bin/klayout
  1 #!/bin/sh	 
  2 LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/klayout·exec·/usr/lib/klayout/klayout·"$@"  1 #!/bin/sh\nLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/klayout·exec·/usr/lib/klayout/klayout·"$@"


The attached patch fixes this by making two calls to echo when
generating /usr/bin/klayout.


This patch alone does not resolve all reproducibility issues (e.g. build
paths), but when combined with the timestamp patch just submitted,
should result in a reproducible build when it lands in bullseye, where
build paths are not varied.


Thanks for maintaining klayout!


live well,
