Bug#974087: dpkg: dpkg-buildflags: Enable reproducible=+fixfilepath by default

[Vagrant Cascadian]

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.20.5
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: fixfilepath toolchain
X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-bugs at lists.alioth.debian.org

The discussion to enable the fixfilepath feature raised no issues on
debian-devel:

  https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2020/10/msg00222.html

An archive-wide rebuild has been performed and patches have been filed
for most affected packages (the few remaining ones will be fixed with
the expected upgrade of llvm-defaults in bullseye).


Even though fixdebugpath is superceded by fixfilepath, the patch leaves
fixdebugpath enabled by default so fixdebugpath would still be enabled
if someone worked around issues with fixfilepath with debian/rules:

  DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS=reproducible=-fixfilepath


Thanks for all your work on dpkg; I use it... nearly every single
day. :)


live well,
  vagrant
