[Reproducible-builds] Bug#777289: libglib-perl: podify_signals produces pod files containing signals in random order

[Maria Valentina Marin]

Package: libglib-perl
Version: 3:1.305-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi!

While working on the “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed that
libgtk2-perl, libgoo-canvas-perl, and libgnome2-perl could not be built
reproducibly because the pod files generated by libglib-perl contain signal
lists in random order.

The attached patch sorts the result of Glib::Type->list_signals by signal name
before generating the pod.  

Cheers, akira
