Bug#977167: west-chamber: reproducible builds: source tarball with inconsistent file order

[Vagrant Cascadian]

Source: west-chamber
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: fileordering
X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-bugs at lists.alioth.debian.org

The /usr/src/west-chamber.tar.bz2 tarball sometimes has variable
ordering of included files:

  https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/i386/diffoscope-results/west-chamber.html

For some reason it does not appear to be triggered on the amd64 or arm64
architecture, but currently both i386 and armhf show this issue.


The attached patch fixes this by passing options to the tar command to
ensure consistent sort order, uid, gid, and pax headers:

Thanks for maintaining west-chamber!
