Package: r-base-dev Version: 3.1.1-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi,
as GNU R 3.2.0 is now released with support for setting the build timestamps it would be nice to be able to use it. You could just uncomment lines 75-77 in r-cran.mk to make that happen or leave the decision to the maintainer and apply my proposed patch. Maintainers would just have to set builttimeStamp in d/rules: builttime := $(shell dpkg-parsechangelog -l$(CURDIR)/debian/changelog | awk -F': ' '/Date/ {print $$2}') builttimeStamp := "--built-timestamp=\"$(builttime)\"" Best, Philip
