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

The file created.rid file shipped in the documentation embeds timestamps
that appear to be timezone dependent:

│ │ │ ├── ./usr/share/rubygems-integration/all/gems/github-markup-1.7.0/doc/created.rid
│ │ │ │ -lib/github/markup.rb   Sun, 13 Feb 2022 11:19:23 -1200                                                                                               ...

The attached patch fixes this by removing the file in debian/rules
before building the .deb packages, as it does not appear to be
referenced in any of the documentation.


With this patch applied, ruby-github-markup should build
reproducibly on tests.reproducible-builds.org!


Thanks for maintaining ruby-github-markup!


live well,
