[Pkg-netsim-devel] Bug#858220: ns2: please make the build reproducible

Source: ns2

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed
that ns2 could not be built reproducibly.

This is due to the installation of test artifacts which contain random
and/or non-deterministic output, specially "fairflow.tr.gz".

Patch attached that simply doesn't install these files to ns2-examples.
Another approach might be to run upstream's "remove.com" shell script
that appears to clean the test suite of such things.
