Bug#860384: polygen: FTBFS on 32-bit archs due to -seed $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH argument exceeding 30-bit int

[Chris Lamb]

Source: polygen
Version: 1.0.6.ds2-15
Severity: serious
Justification: fails to build from source

Dear Maintainer,

polygen fails to build from source in i386 (and on armhf) as the
$SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH argument to -seed exceeds the 30-bit integer. It does
not FTBFS on amd64 etc. as the maximum value allowed there is a
62-bit integer:

  […]

  ./src/polygen -seed 1477837980 debian/man.grm > polygen.1
  ./src/polygen: wrong argument '1477837980'; option '-seed' expects an integer.

  […]

The full build log is attached or can be viewed here:

    https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/logs/unstable/i386/polygen_1.0.6.ds2-15.build1.log.gz

A patch attached that ensures the -seed argument is always within range,
regardless of the architecture.


Regards,
