Timestamps are embedded in the info pages shipped in grub2-common: https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/bullseye/amd64/diffoscope-results/grub2.html ./usr/share/info/grub.info-1.gz ...27·August·2022 vs. ...24·July·2021 The attached patches fix this by removing the UPDATED parts from docs/grub-dev.texi and docs/grub.texi. There are still several other outstanding issues affecting the reproducibility of grub2(including other timestamp issues), but this should help reduce the differences to troubleshoot the remaining issues. Thanks for maintaining grub2! live well, vagrant
From 5350251d24394b67c2075ece7a4af18a8a299b0a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vagrant Cascadian <vagr...@reproducible-builds.org> Date: Mon, 26 Jul 2021 00:05:21 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 2/3] Remove updated timestamps from grub.texi and grub-dev.texi The timestamps are embedded in the documentation at build time, which does not accurately reflect when the documentation was last updated, and obviously causes issues for reproducible builds to embed the build time. https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/timestamps/ --- docs/grub-dev.texi | 5 ++--- docs/grub.texi | 5 ++--- 2 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/docs/grub-dev.texi b/docs/grub-dev.texi index 635ec7231..6accaf4c8 100644 --- a/docs/grub-dev.texi +++ b/docs/grub-dev.texi @@ -17,8 +17,7 @@ @finalout @copying -This developer manual is for GNU GRUB (version @value{VERSION}, -@value{UPDATED}). +This developer manual is for GNU GRUB (version @value{VERSION}).
