Enforcing the C locale is probably a good idea to increase the chance of reproducible results, even across systems with different locale. > find-debuginfo.sh, just in case. I personally prefer to do my patches as least intrusive as possible and thus fixed only the place where I saw a problem. If RPM maintainers think though there are more places a similar change is appropriate I for sure won't object this idea. > IMSHO, the fact that the build can be truly reproducible in general is a myth, > but i digress. I have invested a lot of my lifetime in buildsystems and in general making builds reproducible works for me when three conditions are met: 1. The build process is properly isolated from external information that is not controlled by the build process. (This is the condition violated here.) 2. There are no race conditions in the build process. 3. There is no hardware issue on the build machine. Robert
