Source: remake Version: 3.82+dbg0.9+dfsg-2 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch User: reproducible-bui...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: timestamps X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-bui...@lists.alioth.debian.org
Hi! While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed that remake could not be built reproducibly. The generated info page embeds a timestamp of the last modification date. Because a patch is applied to the texinfo source, the modification date changes to the build date. The attached patch resets the timestamp back to the changelog date to get a reproducible result. Regards, Reiner [1]: https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds
