So with all these changes to the build system fro 4.2, I'm *still*
getting that annoying
X.509 certificate list changed
issue. Which apparently people don't normally see, because it does to
stdout rather than to stderr, so it's hidden by all the other random
build output.
Making it show more information gives me
X.509 certificate list changed to "signing_key.x509" from
"./signing_key.x509"
so it's still that "./" issue.
This is *trivial* to reproduce for me using
git clean -dqfx
make oldconfig
make -j16
make -j16
where that second "make" invocation will do it.
Not only is that "./" wrong, but the whole rule to check equality is
bad because the certificate list is still generated the wrong way
around, and then randomly deleted without proper rules for it.
I sent a patch to do it right (using filechk), but it apparently never
got merged? Instead, we continue to have that racy "remove the
.x509.list file at a random time" thing.
Do I need to fish out my patch and apply it directly? I hate just
bypassing the maintainership chain for stupid things like this, but
this has been pending for way too long. At least that fixes the
re-generation of that file, even if it doesn't fix the problem with
the spurious extra ./ at the head.
