setup.cfg on PyPI is not bit-identical with setup.cfg in git #80

Closed fmoessbauer closed 2 years ago

fmoessbauer commented 2 years ago

Hi,

I'm working on packaging shtab for Debian and while doing so I discovered a reproducability glitch: The setup.cfg in the git repository uses key=value, while the setup.cfg in the archive from PyPI uses key = value syntax (note the spaces).

This is problematic as we assume that the sources archive distributed via PyPI is identical with the upstream repository.

I'm not sure you're meant to compare setup.cfg byte-for-byte.

If you need to programmatically check consistency, you could parse the files (into dicts/objects) first. afaik the PyPI file is generated by python setup.py sdist^1 and therefore has different whitespaces plus also an extra block:

[egg_info]
tag_build =
tag_date = 0

Ok, thanks for the clarification. Then I'll simply use the archive from PyPI.
