@katexochen please rebase it to master so I can merge. |
There is no defined order in which readdir will return the entries of a directory. In practice, order can depend on inode number or similar. If we run p11-kit on different files systems with similar directory structure but different inode order the output of extract can change. To get a stable and reproducible output, sort the paths returned by readdir before extracting. Co-authored-by: Tom Dohrmann <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Paul Meyer <[email protected]>
