Subject: lift: reproducible builds: Embedded timestamps in man pages dependent on timezone

Date: Tue, 30 Nov 2021 13:11:03 -0800

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Source: lift
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: timestamps
X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-bugs@lists.alioth.debian.org

The build timestamp in various manpages varies dependent on timezone:

  https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/bookworm/i386/diffoscope-results/lift.html

  /usr/share/man/man1/lift.1.gz

  .TH·"LIFT"·1·"2016-09-25"·"2.5.0"·"Lift·Manual"
  vs.
  .TH·"LIFT"·1·"2016-09-26"·"2.5.0"·"Lift·Manual"

The attached patch fixes by removing the date in the two doc/*.rst files
used to generate the manpages.


With this patch applied, lift should build reproducibly on
tests.reproducible-builds.org.


Thanks for maintaining lift!


live well,

Subject: [PATCH] doc/lift*.rst: Remove date from documentation to
build reproducibly.

Embedding the build date without updating the content of the
document is not a particularly useful date.
