This issue is the zip files. Time stamps in zip files use local (yes,
local - I didn't mistype that) time. Hence you need to use the same
time zone to get a repeatable build.
We have a few options here:
1. Document the time zone in use for the build and require the same
timezone to be used for repeatable builds.
We might want to do this anyway, regardless.
Agreed. I also spotted that adding "do.codesigning=true" would help
repeatable builds. I'll get both of those added.
I don't think we want that to affect people trying to perform their own
builds. It will fail every time, right? I have do.codesigning=true in
~/build.properties which should be sufficient for Tomcat release managers.
2. Require UTC.
Can that be done on the CLI for a single process on Windows? It will
likely work for *NIX no problem. I use a semi-dedicated Windows VM for
building releases, so I have no problem just switching it to UTC.
I'm not sure. Figuring that out is next on my TODO list. I'd really like
to make this part of the Ant build script if I can though.

I also really need to switch to building natively on my Mac because
the whole VM thing is really cramping my style. :)
That should be doable. From memory, wine required a little hoop jumping
to get working but it didn't take too long.
It's the wine thing that's really stopping me. Ironically, I already
have Crossover (which is paid-for wine) installed and it would be nice
it I could just use that, but my guess is it would be enough of a PITA
to get working that I should just install Vanilla wine and use that.
3. Find a way to force Ant to use a specific timezone.
-Duser.timezone?
That should work. We could require that to be used on the command line.
I was hoping to find a way to set that within the script so the release
manager still just has to do a "ant release".
Put it in pre-release, and stash it into build.properties.release?
I was thinking about a custom Ant task that set the global time zone (if
there isn't anything built into Any that does that).
