Notes for nipy - reproducible builds result

Version annotated: 0.3.0+git262-gbb838d7-1
Identified issues:
Identifier: randomness_in_documentation_generated_by_sphinx
URL https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds/SphinxIssues
Description Sphinx might output references to memory addresses and generate a json index file
with entries in random order or with non-deterministic values (eg. searchindex.js).
See https://bugs.debian.org/822197 for memory address issue
.
searchindex.js needs sort_keys=True (jsonimpl.py) but the key values vary too.
Identifier: leaks_path_environment_variable
Description The environment variable PATH is embedded in the build result.
Sometimes it's just leaked into some file (so "just" causing reproducibility issues), while sometimes this PATH is also used for building, which might give unexpected and broken results.
