I’ve built the tarball locally with the command above but the hash I get is:

  1zwz6d0x3ndd0hgqp17fx71miyjvn4dgkl1nzhaz3mbcqxzrprhk

I did it twice and got the same hash.

This is with:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
$ readlink -f $(type -P git)
/gnu/store/44ahv950sc9qj8b1k86y7rbx4y7z2h3y-git-2.15.0/bin/git
$ readlink -f $(type -P xz)
/gnu/store/9cgv5prf1prqf75dwna4j7824286imyx-xz-5.2.2/bin/xz
$ readlink -f $(type -P tar)
/gnu/store/30zazbgh0lx2pav0ikx5hglgay28264j-tar-1.29/bin/tar
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Are you using the same tools?

Ludo’.
