What "benefits" of LANG=C do you have in mind? There are packages where this makes the tests fail, and "fixing" this by hardcoding a locale in debian/rules makes it impossible to run buildtime tests in different locales (which can find actual bugs). > live well, > vagrant cu Adrian _______________________________________________ Reproducible-builds mailing list Reproducible-builds@alioth-lists.debian.net https://alioth-lists.debian.net/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/reproducible-builds
