Reproducible builds not working with musl?
|
Kenth Eriksson
Having trouble with reproducible builds in yocto on dunfell release with musl as libc. E.g. I can see that the build path for musl crti assembler file is leaking through and becomes visible when I do strings on libraries and binaries.

There have been recent fixes and tests to check that host paths do not leak into target files, but dunfell probably has neither the fix nor the test. Alex |

We do try to get some decent coverage, but ultimately if you really care about reproducible builds, you should setup a reproducible build test for your exact combination. We've tried to make this pretty easy, see https://youtu.be/zXEdqGS62Wc?t=1021

I see. Any particular fixes you can point me to that may be relevant also for musl?

You have to find them yourself with gut bisect I would say. Too many things have changed. Alex On Mon 21. Nov 2022 at 17.07, Kenth Eriksson <kenth.eriksson@...> wrote: I see. Any particular fixes you can point me to that may be relevant also for musl? |
