Source: recode Version: 3.6-22 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch upstream User: reproducible-bui...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: timestamps X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-bui...@lists.alioth.debian.org
Dear Maintainer, While working on the “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed that 'recode' could not be built reproducibly. The attached patch makes recode building using a recent version of help2man (from the debian package) instead of the old one shipped with the recode sources. This version honours the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable, so that the date used in the documentation is taken from the last debian/changelog entry. Once applied, recode can be built reproducibly in our current experimental framework. Regards, Alexis Bienvenüe. [1]: https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds
