Source: vimoutliner
Version: 0.3.4
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
As part of reproducible-builds initiative in debian and other linux
distributions, the package vimoutliner was found that it is not reproducible.
It has a step in which it uses gzip to compress and it writes the current
timestamp to the file metadata. This should be removed to make the build
reproducible. The fix has been done and the patch is ready to be submitted.
