[Reproducible-builds] Bug#812895: libxml++2.6: please make the build reproducible (environment)

[Jérémy Bobbio]

Source: libxml++2.6
Version: 2.40.1-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: environment

Hi!

While working on the “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed
that libxml++2.6 could not be built reproducibly.

The reason is that the entire `examples` directory is shipped after
being built and so contains several libtool scripts which capture the
PATH. These files and others added during the build are actually not
useful as examples.

The attached patch replaces the wildcard in
`debian/libxml++2.6.examples` by the output of
`find examples -type f | LC_ALL=C sort` to ship only source files. Once
applied, libxml++2.6 can be built reproducibly in our current
experimental framework.
