Gerrit tarballs for the base packages aren't deterministic #92

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

Downloading this URL: 
https://go.googlesource.com/net/+archive/d75b190.tar.gz?dummy=/golang-net-d75b19
0.tgz
always produces a different tar archive. Contents are the same, but tar 
metadata is different. This prevents using such URLs as fingerprinted distfiles 
in FreeBSD.

It might be that https://go.googlesource.com uses BSD tar that suffers from 
this bug: libarchive/libarchive#623 (in this case the fix is switching to GNU 
tar).

Thanks for filing this bug. Its not Gerrit, but Gitiles that generates these 
(and even then I think its JGit's fault). But its certainly not Gerrit. So I'm 
going to move this over to the Gitiles project where its more likely to get 
attention.
