Description Joshua Watt 2019-09-10 21:08:26 UTC 
The reproducible build QA might be able to the current user name when building to test that recipes aren't encoding it in their output, making them non-reproducible. This might only mean faking the actual text username/groupname, and/or the UID/GID.
Comment 1 Randy MacLeod 2023-10-30 15:37:32 UTC 
Build move to 5.0 -- ../Randy
Comment 2 Randy MacLeod 2024-04-25 01:13:51 UTC 
Bulk move of 5.0 medium importance issues to 5.99.
Move to 5.1 if you want to actively work on an issue.
Comment 3 Randy MacLeod 2024-04-25 01:23:11 UTC 
Move to 5.99 since no one is actively working on this issue.
Move to 5.x if you start on a task, please.
