Subject: build: Use stable file ordering in sysupgrade.tar
X-Git-Url: http://git.lede-project.org./?a=commitdiff_plain;h=894bcf59dc5b11ff38259a43cf4a0a3e9acada96;p=openwrt%2Fstaging%2F981213.git

build: Use stable file ordering in sysupgrade.tar

The file ordering in the current sysupgrade depends on the order of file in
a filesystem. This is often already in a sane (alphabetical order) but this
is not always the case. For example, the OpenWrt build servers return a
different ordering.

This breaks the reproducibility of the sysupgrade tarballs significantly
and also resulted in images which cannot be used for upgrades on devices
like the OpenMesh A42/A62.
