Package: libkinosearch1-perl
Version: 1.01-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: fileordering

While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [0], we have noticed
that the XS code generated by Build.PL depends on the order of the source
files as returned by File::Find, which is nondeterministic. The attached 
patch fixes this.

Please note that this package is also affected by the Module::Build
linking order issue (#797709) so this fix alone is not sufficient
to make the build reproducible. However, I've verified that the two
together make things work for me.
