[New-bugs-announce] [issue30693] tarfile add uses random order

New submission from Bernhard M. Wiedemann:

Filesystems do not give any guarantees about ordering of files returned in directory listings, thus tarfile.add adds files in random order, when using os.listdir in recursion.

See also https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/stable-inputs/ on that topic.
