Bug#978067: epm: reproducible builds: /usr/bin/epm contains embedded path to "gzip"

[Vagrant Cascadian]

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

The file /usr/bin/epm contains an embedded path to the "gzip" command:

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

  /bin/gzip·-vf9·%s.pkg
  vs.
  /usr/bin/gzip·-vf9·%s.pkg


The attached patch fixes this by passing the GZIP variable to configure.


Thanks for maintaining epm!


live well,
  vagrant
