Make the output reproducible #90
Conversation
Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] I noticed that sphinx-panels and sphinx-design do not create reproducible output. This is because it uses Python's uuid.uuid4 to generate unique identifiers, but those numbers are random/nondeterminstic by design. This patch will seed these random numbers from SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH if it exists, otherwise it will revert back to random numbers. I originally filed this in Debian as bug #1017475 [1], as well as within sphinx-panels [2] [0] https://reproducible-builds.org/ [1] https://bugs.debian.org/1017475 [2] executablebooks/sphinx-panels#82

Sure thing. In a perfect world I would have implemented it that way too I think, but it was harder to ensure I knew all the codepaths. 👍 |
