This is unexpected. Unfortunately I haven't looked at reproducibility
in a while, and my work was all on x86. This could be a regression or
a longstanding issue with arm64.
If you install the diffoscope package (py37-diffoscope) and run it on
the two directories / files it should give a more convenient view of
the differences. (Or, if you can make a tarball of the differing files
I can take a look.)

While waiting for the 2nd buildworld to complete, I used
the 1st buildworld's materials to installworld twice (to
different, empty directory trees) and then did a diff.
The diff reported:

Have you tried to (re)build devel/gobject-introspection? I think
ports list is more appropriate.

To investigate the non-reproducibility though we can just manually run through the same sort of process that Diffoscope uses. I would suggest cmp -x to find the offsets of the difference(s), then use readelf -S to determine which section(s) have differences. ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

Well, the list of differing files is huge. But this seems to
be .gnu_debuglink content for the area it is in. I'll note
that I did installworld but not the likes of distrib-dirs
or distribution this time.
This test did buildworld to two distinct directories:
zroot/BUILDs/13_0R-CA72-nodbg-clang 5.13G 118G 5.13G
/usr/obj/BUILDs/13_0R-CA72-nodbg-clang
zroot/BUILDs/13_0R-CA72-nodbg-clang-alt 4.28G 118G 4.28G
/usr/obj/BUILDs/13_0R-CA72-nodbg-clang-alt
and installworld to 2 distinct directories:
zroot/DESTDIRs/13_0R-CA72-instwrld-alt1.44G 118G 1.44G
/usr/obj/DESTDIRs/13_0R-CA72-instwrld-alt
zroot/DESTDIRs/13_0R-CA72-instwrld-norm 1.44G 118G 1.44G
/usr/obj/DESTDIRs/13_0R-CA72-instwrld-norm
Previously (armv7 target) I had built, installed, rebuilt
to same directory (after clean-out) and installed to an
alternate directory. That had gotten only a few files
different but I do not know (yet) if it was the procedural
difference that made the difference.
Prefix of the list of different files this time:
# diff -rq /usr/obj/DESTDIRs/13_0R-CA72-instwrld-norm/
/usr/obj/DESTDIRs/13_0R-CA72-instwrld-alt/ | more

Looking, aarch64 seems to typically get a back-to-back

builds:

Re: FYI: WITH_REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD= problem for some files? [Ignore recent test: -dirty vs. checked-in usage difference]
I probably know why the huge count of differences this time unlike the original report . . . Previously I built based on a checked-in branch as part of my experimenting. This time it was in a -dirty form (not checked in), again as part of my experimental exploration. WITH_REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD= makes a distinction between these if I remember right: (partially?) disabling itself for -dirty style. To reproduce the original style of test I need to create a branch with my few patches checked in and do the buildworlds from that branch. This will, of course, take a while. Sorry for the noise. === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar) ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
diffoscope's odd UnicodeDecodeError error message: reason found
I had reported in the reproducable build list messages:

Well, it turns out that the file name pattern was
incorrect and only matched one file.
By contrast:
# diffoscope /.zfs/snapshot/2021-04-*/bin/sh
$<3/>2021-05-04 11:05:25 W: diffoscope.main: Fuzzy-matching is currently

worked fine.
And making the "one file" status obvious:
# diffoscope c_tests/a.out
$<3/>2021-05-04 11:11:45 W: diffoscope.main: Fuzzy-matching is currently

should bsdinstall work?
Hi, I've been trying to set up a boot-from-usb3 raspberry pi 4. I thought i'd be able to do this by booting into latest current snapshot image for arm64 rpi (written to microsd), and then running bsdinstall as root. I can select the auto-zfs option then select the usb3 disk as installation destination. The bsdinstall selects the sets and downloads them, but then get the error: "error while fetching file://usr/freebsd-dist/MANIFEST : No such file or directory" also tried via release/13 image, same error. Looks like it's downloading the files but then the installer can't see them, something like that. the downloaded files are there: root@generic:~ # ls -lah /mnt/usr/freebsd-dist/ total 187454 drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 4B Apr 9 06:51 . drwxr-xr-x 6 root wheel 6B Apr 9 06:50 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 158M Apr 9 06:51 base.txz -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel25M Apr 9 06:51 kernel.txz root@generic:~ # worth submitting a PR? or is bsdinstall legacy and I need to use some other method.

Re: should bsdinstall work?
Yes, it should work just fine; however, we don't provision the microsd images for the installer, especially for -CURRENT. The actual OS is fetched in plaintext to allow caching and the MANIFEST files are what provides authentication -- they provide the checksums of the files that get fetched so that they can be verified against corruption and tampering. For snapshots, the current version changes all the time and that doesn't work; it also means that network-install media have to be set up with those checksums in advance. Where are you trying to install to? Usually the assumption is that the microsd images *are* the installed system rather than a tool you use to install a system. -Nathan On 5/4/21 3:22 PM, tech-lists wrote: Hi, I've been trying to set up a boot-from-usb3 raspberry pi 4.

The .debug files have differences such as: │ -<1a> DW_AT_comp_dir: (indirect string) /usr/obj/BUILDs/13_0R-CA72-nodbg-clang-alt/usr/13_0R-src/arm64.aarch64/lib/csu/aarch64 │ +<1a> DW_AT_comp_dir: (indirect string) /usr/obj/BUILDs/13_0R-CA72-nodbg-clang/usr/13_0R-src/arm64.aarch64/lib/csu/aarch64 So I need to build, snapshot (in case need to reference), install, clean-out, build, install elsewhere, compare. (Or analogous that uses the same build base-path for both installs despite separate buildworld's.) This is separate from any potential -dirty vs. checked-in handling variation by WITH_REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD= . My process that produced the original armv7 report happened to do that before I accidentally discovered the presence of the few files with differences. My new experiments were different and I'd not though of needing to vary the procedure to get you the right evidence. === Mark Millard marklmi at yahoo.com ( dsl-only.net went away in early 2018-Mar) ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

I've done something similar, deliberately making the root file system ZFS based to experiment with bectl usage and to have GPT instead of MBR, for example. Even when other things work, do not expect bsdinstall to deal with the RPi firmware or u-boot in the msdos file system partition. I copied those over separately. > I can select the auto-zfs option then select the usb3 disk as > installation destination. The bsdinstall selects the sets and downloads > them, but then get the error: > > "error while fetching > file://usr/freebsd-dist/MANIFEST > : No such file or > directory" As I remember, I had to use bsdinstall's DISTRIBUTIONS environment variable to pick what to download in order to get MANIFEST to download. Otherwise I got just the 2 files (base.txz and kernel.txz) and the complaint that you report. Ultimately I picked to get more than just base.txz and kernel.txz as well. I'll note that: http://ftp3.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/arm64/13.0-RELEASE/ has the MANIFIEST file available. As does: http://ftp3.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/arm64/14.0-CURRENT/ Unfortrunately, there has not been a successful snapshot build for arm64/aarch64 or arm/armv7 recently. So there are no .../13.0-STABLE/ examples yet. Another place to stable-13 materials is paths matching: https://artifact.ci.freebsd.org/snapshot/stable-13/*/arm64/aarch64/ that have MANIFEST and *.txz files. For example, https://artifact.ci.freebsd.org/snapshot/stable-13/d6d039ea74a26357173d1263682d4f5119037434/arm64/aarch64/ has a snapshot as of one of today's commits. When looking in such folders, be sure to check the dates on the files: they might be older than the parent directory dates suggest. Sometimes one finds the directory is empty despite the arm64/aarch64/ level being created.) There is also: https://artifact.ci.freebsd.org/snapshot/stable-11/ https://artifact.ci.freebsd.org/snapshot/stable-12/ https://artifact.ci.freebsd.org/snapshot/main/ and aliases based on names like 13.0-STABLE and head . > also tried via release/13 image, same error.

Or at least that is my memory of how it went. I used DISTRIBUTIONS to get more files and so also got MANIFEST. You can also put the files in place separately and tell bsdinstall to look in a file:///path that you type as I remember. file:///usr/freebsd-dist could be an example. > root at generic > :~ # > > worth submitting a PR? or is bsdinstall legacy and I need to use some > other method.

ZFS rename with associated snapshot present: odd error message
