You are right, there is indeed an issue with valac and reproducible builds: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=802528 I guess this should be fixed in vala proper though.
nod.
Personally, I'm not a huge fan of shipping pre-generated files in a dist tarball. As soon you need to patch one of the source files you need to regenerate it anyway. So it's better to do it always.
Hmmrr. Patching .c files generated by valac sounds absurd. Is there ever a circumstance where you want to do that instead of patching the .vapi or .vala file? Because if you do, that sounds like a bug in valac instead. Kind regards, Philip
