Thanks for the patch, and apologies for having neglected this package for so long. > diff -urNad dict-devil.orig/dict-devil-1.0/debian/devil2dict > dict-devil/dict-devil-1.0/debian/devil2dict > --- dict-devil.orig/dict-devil-1.0/debian/devil2dict 2015-01-27 > 22:53:44.754004688 +0000 > +++ dict-devil/dict-devil-1.0/debian/devil2dict 2015-01-27 > 22:55:53.159685075 +0000 > @@ -28,7 +28,7 @@ > '--without-headword', # Necessary for multiple headwords. > '--headword-separator', ', ', > '-u', 'http://wiretap.area.com/Gopher/Library/Classic/devils.txt', > - '-s', 'The Devil\'s Dictionary (1881-1906)', > + '-s', 'The Devil\'s Dictionary (1881-1906)', '--without-time', > $fmt_base > or die "$0: can't open pipe to dictfmt: $!\n" > if defined $fmt_base; Applied this part. > diff -urNad dict-devil.orig/dict-devil-1.0/debian/rules > dict-devil/dict-devil-1.0/debian/rules > --- dict-devil.orig/dict-devil-1.0/debian/rules 2015-01-27 > 22:53:44.754004688 +0000 > +++ dict-devil/dict-devil-1.0/debian/rules 2015-01-27 22:55:27.298540948 > +0000 > @@ -1,9 +1,13 @@ > #! /usr/bin/make -f > > +BUILD_DATE := $(shell dpkg-parsechangelog --show-field Date) > + > %: > dh $@ > > override_dh_auto_build: > chmod a+x debian/devil2dict > debian/devil2dict devils.txt devil > + # Ensure deterministic mtime for dictzip to inherit > + touch --date='$(BUILD_DATE)' devil.dict > dictzip devil.dict There is now an easier way to achieve this. Thanks to your efforts dictzip gained a "-n" option to avoid timestamps (#776430) which I have conveniently used here. :-) Would you like to sponsor an upload, or give me permission to upload myself? I am a DM, but do not currently have upload permissions for dict-devil (the last upload preceded my DM application). The git repository for dict-devil can be found at https://salsa.debian.org/joachim-guest/dict-devil. Cheers, Sven
