From ca04974425c84f306ddcebe88d6b31442e34e89d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Bernhard M. Wiedemann" Date: Mon, 5 Jun 2017 17:33:33 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] bpo-36302: Sort list of sources when building packages (e.g. for openSUSE Linux) (random) filesystem order of input files influences ordering of functions in the output .so files. Thus without the patch, builds (in disposable VMs) would usually differ. Without this patch, all callers have to be patched individually https://github.com/dugsong/libdnet/pull/42 https://github.com/sass/libsass-python/pull/212 https://github.com/tahoe-lafs/pycryptopp/pull/41 https://github.com/yt-project/yt/pull/2206 https://github.com/pyproj4/pyproj/pull/142 https://github.com/pytries/datrie/pull/49 https://github.com/Roche/pyreadstat/pull/37 but that is an infinite effort. See https://reproducible-builds.org/ for why this matters. --- Lib/distutils/command/build_ext.py | 3 ++- .../next/Library/2019-03-21-19-23-46.bpo-36302.Yc591g.rst | 2 ++ 2 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) create mode 100644 Misc/NEWS.d/next/Library/2019-03-21-19-23-46.bpo-36302.Yc591g.rst diff --git a/Lib/distutils/command/build_ext.py b/Lib/distutils/command/build_ext.py index 2d7cdf063f01db..38bb8fd93c2781 100644 --- a/Lib/distutils/command/build_ext.py +++ b/Lib/distutils/command/build_ext.py @@ -490,7 +490,8 @@ def build_extension(self, ext): "in 'ext_modules' option (extension '%s'), " "'sources' must be present and must be " "a list of source filenames" % ext.name) - sources = list(sources) + # sort to make the resulting .so file build reproducible + sources = sorted(sources) ext_path = self.get_ext_fullpath(ext.name) depends = sources + ext.depends diff --git a/Misc/NEWS.d/next/Library/2019-03-21-19-23-46.bpo-36302.Yc591g.rst b/Misc/NEWS.d/next/Library/2019-03-21-19-23-46.bpo-36302.Yc591g.rst new file mode 100644 index 00000000000000..fe01b5915d5db7 --- /dev/null +++ b/Misc/NEWS.d/next/Library/2019-03-21-19-23-46.bpo-36302.Yc591g.rst @@ -0,0 +1,2 @@ +distutils sorts source file lists so that Extension .so files +build more reproducibly by default
