Hi all, I did the following:
tex.man: added to the ENVIRONMENT section: +.P +Notes for Debian developers: please keep in mind, that this version of +the \*(TX interpreter ignores the +.B SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH +variable. Instead the current timestamp is written into the +.I DVI +file. If you need a reproducible time stamp, please use any engine based +on pdf\*(TX, e.g., etex, pdftex, latex, pdflatex. etex.man: added to the ENVIRONMENT section: +.TP +.B SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH +If set, its value, taken to be in epoch-seconds, will be used for the +timestamps in the PDF output, such as the CreationDate and ModDate keys. +This is useful for making reproducible builds. +.TP +.B FORCE_SOURCE_DATE +If set to the value "1", the time-related \*(TX primitives +.RI ( \eyear , +.IR \emonth , +.IR \eday , +.IR \etime ) +are also initialized from the value of SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH. This is not +recommended if there is any viable alternative. Hope that is fine with you Norbert -- PREINING Norbert http://www.preining.info Accelia Inc. + JAIST + TeX Live + Debian Developer GPG: 0x860CDC13 fp: F7D8 A928 26E3 16A1 9FA0 ACF0 6CAC A448 860C DC13
