Request for help to make mariadb-10.3 in Debian reproducible

[Otto Kekäläinen]

Hello Chris and others,

I reported your results at
- https://github.com/mroonga/mroonga/issues/298
- https://github.com/groonga/groonga/issues/1079

I also updated the upstream issue at
- https://github.com/facebook/rocksdb/issues/6276

Unfortunately none of the changes I made seemed to solve this..
10.3.22 is still unreproducible in unstable due to RocksDB, TokuDB and
Mroonga.
https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/diffoscope-results/mariadb-10.3.html

My changes:
https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/mariadb-10.3/commit/5eb8f505b9861f0d374663d8f2c857c8b5d1cd09
https://salsa.debian.org/mariadb-team/mariadb-10.3/commit/a57ed417f7e4be604c3fc2c7affb9ba7d14ee268


The upside is that all upstreams seemed pretty responsive. If there
just was some very easy instructions for upstreams to follow on how to
build their project twice with the variations reproducible-builds.org
does, they could be able to study the actual binaries themselves more
easily.
