Package: libxml-sax-perl
Version: 1.02+dfsg-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hello maintainers for libxml-sax-perl,

While working on the “reproducible builds” effort [1], I have noticed
that the output of the script 'update-perl-sax-parsers' is not stable.

You can reproduce this with the following snippet:
mkdir test
PERL_HASH_SEED=0 update-perl-sax-parsers --directory test --file
test/ParserDetails.ini --add XML::SAX::Expat --priority 10
mv test/10-XML\:\:SAX\:\:Expat seed0
PERL_HASH_SEED=42 update-perl-sax-parsers --directory test --file
test/ParserDetails.ini --add XML::SAX::Expat --priority 10
mv test/10-XML\:\:SAX\:\:Expat seed42
md5sum seed*

After issuing the add command, the generated ini file has a random order for
its keys. See [2] for more information.

The attached patch sorts the keys prior to writing the file.
Once applied, it will be possible for the live-build live image with the
Cinnamon desktop to be built reproducibly.

With kind regards,
Roland Clobus
