Subject: Deterministic Library Calls when Building
Date: Sun, 20 Mar 2016 06:04:51 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CABnEbCEbe3FANSLD_CakFoAFER4ra4oc6+F=iEGBC55wTbjzCw@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi,
I recently learned about guix and I haven't found any information on
approaching deterministic builds by changing library and kernel
functions to have deterministic behavior. Has anybody done this?
For example, I would imagine if I needed timestamps to no longer be a
factor, I might change how the current time is reported to the build
environment, such that it is always precisely equal to the time of
last modification of the source package. Similarly /dev/*random
should return deterministic numbers seeded by perhaps the hash of the
source package and all dependencies.
Has there been a discussion of this somewhere?
