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

The build path and several binary paths are embedded in example Makefiles
shipped in the package:

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

  /usr/share/doc/libbrahe-dev/test/Makefile.gz

  EGREP·=·/bin/grep·-E
  vs.
  EGREP·=·/usr/bin/grep·-E

  abs_builddir·=·/build/1st/libbrahe-1.3.2/test
  vs.
  abs_builddir·=·/build/2/libbrahe-1.3.2/2nd/test

Since these values may differ with the installed system, in order to use
the example Makefile, a person would have to regenerate it from
Makefile.in, which is also provided in the package.

The attached patch excludes Makefile from getting installed in
debian/libbrahe-dev.install.

With this patch applied libbrahe should become reproducible on
tests.reproducible-builds.org.

Thanks for maintaining libbrahe!

live well,
  vagrant
