Source: latexdiff Version: 1.1.1-1 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 latexdiff could not be built reproducibly. It embeds the current build date into the documentation. The attached patch removes this timestamp. Regards, Reiner [1]: https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds
