Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that cairocffi could not be built reproducibly.

This is because the testsuite appears to delete (?) various test_foo.py files, meaning that if the tests are run they are not included and if the tests are skipped, they are included.

Patch attached that deletes these files regardless; if you do really need them in the binary package (eg. for the autopkgtests), then the packaging will need rejiggering.

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the report and the patch! The autopkgtests still pass, so no rejiggering was needed.

I've applied your patch.

While at it I also bumped Standards-Version and fixed a stale debian-branch setting in d/gbp.conf (it pointed at debian/master, but the team repo uses master).

The changes are on the master branch of the team repo: https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/cairocffi

Salsa CI is green across all jobs.

As I don't have upload rights, I'd be grateful if you could sponsor this. The MR is ready to merge here: https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/cairocffi/-/merge_requests/5 Feel free to merge and build from master, or let me know if you'd prefer mentors.

Regards,

Arian Ott arian.ott@ieee.org
