>Description:
It's useful for 'ar' to support a deterministic mode of operation, in which ar
uses well-known uids, gids, timestamps, file modes, etc., when creating
archives. This allows rebuilds to produce identical .a files.
I've wanted this feature for a while, and I know Perry has too.
The best way I've found to use this to build 'random' software is to create two
shell scripts:
* a wrapper for 'ar' which adds the 'D' flag into the options, and
* a wrapper for 'ranlib' which is just #!/bin/true
(if people call ranlib to update the archive map timestamp, that'll screw up
the nice determinism.) For use in building NetBSD, it should be sufficient to
just set 'D' in the system makefiles' ar flags where appropriate, and stub out
uses of ranlib.
I coded the attached patch up based on NetBSD's gnu/dist/binutils sources as of
the evening (US/Pacific) 2009-03-05. I'm putting the uuencoded bzip2'd patch
in the 'fix' section, below. (Let me know if you run into problems decoding
it.)
>How-To-Repeat:
ar cv archive1.a obj1.o obj2.o
sleep 5
touch obj1.o obj2.o
ar cv archive2.a obj1.o obj2.o
cmp -l archive1.a archive2.a
lame!
