Subject: [bug#74411] freedict-dictionaries build non-deterministic
Date: Mon, 18 Nov 2024 06:37:39 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8734jp82ts.fsf@whispers-vpn.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1731747114.git.runciter@whispers-vpn.org>

The build of the package freedict-dictionaries is non-deterministic, at
least because the output dictionaries are compressed by the utility
dictzip, which includes a timestamp in the compressed file headers.

I have not confirmed it yet but I think I could fix it: it would involve
a patch to the freedict-tools package, and then output dictionaries of
freedict-dictionaries would not be compressed.

The maintainers should just tell me if it's worth it to fix
non-determinism in this way: we have to carry forward a patch (unless a
better idea comes up), and we lose the benefit of compressing the outputs.
