this should go away when you set SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH to something like $(date +%s) -- why didn't you set it in your tests? > • ./etc/machine-id and ./var/lib/dbus/machine-id files differ (but I > think this should not be surprising...) In the next mmdebstrap release /etc/machine-id will be set to an empty file. > • ./usr/lib/python3.7/__pycache__/hashlib.cpython-37.pyc files have > some different hex values (I am not sure why, but it's compiled > Python code, maybe it includes a compilation timestamp or > something?!?) This is a known bug that I have yet to report to the Python maintainers. > I am under the impression that the two .tar files are to be considered > equivalent. > Do you agree? Yes. :)
