Description intrigeri 2015-05-02 12:55:00 UTC 
Created attachment 302757 [details] [review]
sort the output of podify_signals

The reproducible builds effort in Debian (https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds/About) identified that a few Perl dists could not be built reproducibly because the POD files generated by perl-Glib contain signal lists in random order.

This is fixed by the attached patch, that you can also find as the sort_podify_signals Git branch on https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-perl/packages/libglib-perl.git, for your convenience.

FYI I'm going to apply this patch to the Debian package.

Please consider it for inclusion upstream :)

Ping? For the record, we've been shipping this patch in Debian for 3 months now, and I'm not aware of any problem with it.

I think it's a sensible approach; GTK-Doc does the same.

Looks good, committed.  Thanks!
