About this issue
This issue counts for reproducible builds too (see #784 for more explanation). For what I'm working on (https://github.com/fcitx5-android/fcitx5-android to be exact), we have several native library dependencies so we use configPath
property and put their licenses in app/licenses/libraries
directory. The problem is, every time we run the build in a new environment, the order of licenses in generated json file varies.
After some investigation, I found that additional licenses are read by listFiles()
, and there is no guarantee of string order:
In my perspective, simply
licensesDir.listFiles()?.sortedBy { it.name }
would fix this issue. It would be nice if we can have this feature to further improve reproducibility, or at least have it as an option.
