Bug#1010378: leds-alix: reproducible builds: source tarball embeds timestamps and umask

[Vagrant Cascadian]

Source: leds-alix
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: timestamps umask

leds-alix-source embeds the timestamp and file permissions determined by
umask in the leds-alix source tarball:

  https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/bookworm/amd64/diffoscope-results/leds-alix.html

  /usr/src/leds-alix.tar.bz2

  -rw-r--r--···0·root·········(0)·root·········(0)·····3610·2022-04-15·23:37:31.000000·modules/leds-alix/leds-alix.c
vs.
  -rw-rw-r--···0·root·········(0)·root·········(0)·····3610·2023-05-19·06:01:18.000000·modules/leds-alix/leds-alix.c

The attached patch fixes this by passing arguments to tar in
debian/rules to ensure consistent timestamp, file permissions, sort
order, user, group, uid and gid in the generated tarball.


With this patch applied, leds-alix should become reproducible on
tests.reproducible-builds.org!


live well,
