From 0d30ae1a03102de07758650af9243fd31211325a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Bernhard M. Wiedemann" Date: Thu, 1 Aug 2019 15:18:03 +0200 Subject: bpo-36302: Sort list of sources (GH-12341) 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 ++- Misc/NEWS.d/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 2d7cdf0..38bb8fd 100644 --- a/Lib/distutils/command/build_ext.py +++ b/Lib/distutils/command/build_ext.py @@ -490,7 +490,8 @@ class build_ext(Command): "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 0000000..fe01b59 --- /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 -- cgit v0.12
