[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#973595: emscripten: please make the build reproducible

[Chris Lamb]

Source: emscripten
Version: 2.0.8~dfsg-6
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
emscripten could not be built reproducibly.

This is because it generates a switch/case statement using Python's
random functionality.

Patch attached that seeds this random component using the
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable [1].
