Hi,

Lars-Dominik Braun <lars@6xq.net> skribis:

Yay!

I think it should be "--mtime=@".

I didn’t know about this ‘--pax-option’ trick; since it’s only useful
when POSIXLY_CORRECT is set, perhaps we can remove it?

(guix docker) does this:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
(define %tar-determinism-options
  ;; GNU tar options to produce archives deterministically.
  '("--sort=name" "--mtime=@1"
    "--owner=root:0" "--group=root:0"

    ;; When 'build-docker-image' is passed store items, the 'nlink' of the
    ;; files therein leads tar to store hard links instead of actual copies.
    ;; However, the 'nlink' count depends on deduplication in the store; it's
    ;; an "implicit input" to the build process.  '--hard-dereference'
    ;; eliminates it.
    "--hard-dereference"))
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

and (guix packages) does something similar.

So ‘--sort=name’ seems to be missing.

HTH,
Ludo’.
