Notes about issue timestamps_in_static_libraries in buster

Identifier: timestamps_in_static_libraries
Suites: unstable / trixie / bookworm / bullseye / buster / experimental
URL: https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds/TimestampsInStaticLibraries
Description: .a files are ar archives. Since binutils 2.25-6 they should be deterministic
by default, but there are some remaining buggy corner cases - see
bug #843210 for example if the package uses binutils-multiarch.
(#843210 has been fixed in sid now, hopefully this issue becomes moot now.)
.
#978494 filed with patch for binutils-arm-none-eabi.
#996184 filed with patch for bintuils-or1k-elf.
.
Other tools that create ar archives directly should in theory be covered by
strip-nondeterminism, but it is still good to patch them.

Our notes about issues affecting packages are stored in notes.git and are targeted at packages in Debian in 'unstable/amd64' (unless they say otherwise).

A package name displayed with a bold font is an indication that this package has a note. Visited packages are linked in green, those which have not been visited are linked in blue.
A # sign after the name of a package indicates that a bug is filed against it. Likewise, a + sign indicates there is a patch available, a P means a pending bug while # indicates a closed bug. In cases of several bugs, the symbol is repeated.
