Source: jalview Version: 2.11.1.3+dfsg2-4 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch User: reproducible-bui...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: timestamps X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-b...@lists.alioth.debian.org
Hi, Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] I noticed that jalview could not be built reproducibly. This is because the .build_properties file generated in the debian/write_build_properties_file.sh.in script did not generate output that ignored the current timezone. Patch attached that adds --utc to the date(1) calls which makes the build reproducible for me.
