Subject: sgml-base-doc: reproducible builds: Build date embedded in documentation

Date: Mon, 09 May 2022 17:23:19 -0700

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

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

The build date is embedded in various documentation:

  https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/diffoscope-results/sgml-base-doc.html

  /usr/share/doc/sgml-base-doc/sgml_layout.html/ch-Other.html


  23·April·2022<br>
  vs.
  26·May·2023<br>


The attached patch fixes this in debian/rules by setting the
DEBIANDOC_DATE environment variable based on SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH.

Alternately, this variable could also be set to an empty value, which
results in no date of any kind.


With this patch applied, sgml-base-doc should build reproducibly on
tests.reproducible-builds.org!


Thanks for maintaining sgml-base-doc!


live well,
