Hi,
The building of lib/ct.sym is not reproducible, due to timestamps of
files inside the file (which is basically a zip file).
The proposed solution is to use a constant timestamp for the files
inside the ct.sym file. To simplify the construction, the CreateSymbols
tool does not produce files on the filesystem anymore, but rather
constructs the ct.sym directly.
Proposed webrev: http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~jlahoda/8241616/webrev.00/
JBS: https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8241616
How does this look?
Thanks,
Jan
