Mandatory LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 during package building

Show all headers | View raw

Hi,

setting LC_ALL=C.UTF-8 in d/rules is a common way to fix many 
reproducibility problems. It is also, in general, a more sane way to 
build packages, in comparison to using whatever locale settings happen 
to be set during a build. However, sprinkling a variant of `export 
LC_ALL=C.UTF-8` in every d/rules is error-prone and a waste of 
maintainers' time.

Would it be possible to set in stone that packages are supposed to 
always be built in an environment where LC_ALL=C.UTF-8, or, in other 
words, that builders must set LC_ALL=C.UTF-8?

In which document should this rule be stated? Policy?

Regards,
