Bug#924172: www.debian.org: differences under english/ between builds in stretch and buster

Package: www.debian.org
Severity: normal
User: [email protected]
Usertags: scripts

Hi,

While working on rebuilding the website within stretch and buster, I've
noticed the following.

This is a curated summary based on diffing a stretch build tree and a
buster build tree, after building the english subdirectory only, with
USE_SAMPLE_FILES=1. This was built by diffing both directory, excluding
all files with 8 changes (assuming those were due to the webwml version
and dates of last modification/build changes, which a cursory look
confirms on dozens of them, but that really should be automated).

I'd think items #1 and #7 should be given high priority.


1. Changes related to canonicalization(?) of the URL

    [ and many more ]


2. Changes in mail address representation
=========================================

    --- stretch/webwml/english/consultants/index.en.html
    +++ buster/webwml/english/consultants/index.en.html
    
Many changes there, but I suppose this is due to some random obfuscation
of mail address, which is likely not reproducible anyway.


3. Changes in a log file
========================

    --- stretch/webwml/english/devel/misc/card.log
    +++ buster/webwml/english/devel/misc/card.log

No surprises here, with versions for the build chain being bumped, and
timestamps.


4. Changes in ordering of coordinators
======================================

    --- stretch/webwml/english/devel/website/translation_coordinators.en.html
    +++ buster/webwml/english/devel/website/translation_coordinators.en.html
    
    -<ul><li>Arabic: Ayman Negm &lt;[email protected]&gt;, Mohammed Adn&egrave;ne Trojette &lt;[email protected]&gt;</li>
    +<ul><li>Arabic: Mohammed Adn&egrave;ne Trojette &lt;[email protected]&gt;, Ayman Negm &lt;[email protected]&gt;</li>
    
    [ Ditto for: Arabic, Chinese, Indonesian, Persian, Polish, Romanian ]

Is it expected to have a random order? Or should this be made to build
and list people in a reproducible order?


5. Changes in ordering under wnpp
=================================

    --- stretch/webwml/english/devel/wnpp/*
    +++ buster/webwml/english/devel/wnpp/*

Should packages be listed in a reproducible order?


6. Changes in order under l10n
==============================

    --- stretch/webwml/english/international/l10n/po-debconf/rank.en.html
    +++ buster/webwml/english/international/l10n/po-debconf/rank.en.html

    --- stretch/webwml/english/international/l10n/po/rank.en.html
    +++ buster/webwml/english/international/l10n/po/rank.en.html

There might be some reproducibility issues here too.


7. Changes related to image width/height attributes
===================================================


    --- stretch/webwml/english/partners/2018/index.en.html
    +++ buster/webwml/english/partners/2018/index.en.html
    
    -  <IMG SRC="./images/stackpath-logo-reversed.svg" alt="StackPath" class="partnerlogo" width=height=>
    +  <IMG SRC="./images/stackpath-logo-reversed.svg" alt="StackPath" class="partnerlogo">
    
    --- stretch/webwml/english/partners/2019/index.en.html
    +++ buster/webwml/english/partners/2019/index.en.html
    
    -  <IMG SRC="./images/bytemark_logo.svg" alt="Bytemark" class="partnerlogo" width=height=>
    +  <IMG SRC="./images/bytemark_logo.svg" alt="Bytemark" class="partnerlogo">
    
    -  <IMG SRC="./images/stackpath-logo-reversed.svg" alt="StackPath" class="partnerlogo" width=height=>
    +  <IMG SRC="./images/stackpath-logo-reversed.svg" alt="StackPath" class="partnerlogo">
    
    --- stretch/webwml/english/partners/index.en.html
    +++ buster/webwml/english/partners/index.en.html
    
    -  <IMG SRC="./images/bytemark_logo.svg" alt="Bytemark" class="partnerlogo" width=height=>
    +  <IMG SRC="./images/bytemark_logo.svg" alt="Bytemark" class="partnerlogo">
    
    -  <IMG SRC="./images/stackpath-logo-reversed.svg" alt="StackPath" class="partnerlogo" width=height=>
    +  <IMG SRC="./images/stackpath-logo-reversed.svg" alt="StackPath" class="partnerlogo">

For some reason, width/height were empty, and they seem to be stripped
now? Progress, maybe, except that might be hiding the root issue?


8. More ordering changes (architectures, DSAs)
==============================================
