Dear maintainer: This package currently fails to build from source in all supported distributions. make[1]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>' dh_clean debian/rules binary dh binary dh_update_autotools_config dh_autoreconf debian/rules execute_before_dh_auto_configure make[1]: Entering directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>' # Fail the build if the tzdata package does not match TZVER. grep -q '^# version 2023d$' /usr/share/zoneinfo/tzdata.zi make[1]: *** [debian/rules:28: execute_before_dh_auto_configure] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory '/<<PKGBUILDDIR>>' make: *** [debian/rules:24: binary] Error 2 dpkg-buildpackage: error: debian/rules binary subprocess returned exit status 2 See also: https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/moment-timezone.js.html I'm curious: Does this package embed the information from tzdata into javascript code, in such a way that a change in tzdata requires a rebuild? I think it would be highly desirable to find a way for this package to do what it's supposed to do without having to fix it in oldstable and stable every year. (In fact, I asked Paul Gevers about this, he says that a package which we know for sure that it will fail to build during the support time of the release is RC). Thanks.
