Bug#915503: tracker: please make the build reproducible

[Chris Lamb]

Source: tracker
Version: 2.1.6-3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed
that tracker could not be built reproducibly.

This is because the header files shipped in the binary encode the
full, absolute, path name via "@filename@".

Patch attached that uses "@basename@" instead. It does not need to be
changed in the .c files too (as they comments get "stripped",
obviously...), but otherwise it ends up being a little strange.
