Hi,

While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed
that palo could not be built reproducibly.

The attached patch removes timestamps, hostnames and usernames
from the build system. Once applied, palo can be built reproducibly
in our reproducible toolchain.

The palo sources are being built on other non-debian distributions too.
With that in mind we can not use debian-specific tools like "dpkg-parsechangelog"...
Maybe we should drop the user and build server name completely...?
Any other idea ?

Of course. The patch was 50% to highlight/demonstrate the issue in a
concise way and 50% assuming that it would be a Debian-specific
modification.

If I were upstream I would make the entire *bld_info line configurable
from outside the build process (ie. from debian/rules) so we can:

 a) Use whatever dpkg-* stuff we like.

 b) Not include the user or hostname.

 c) (optionally) not include the string "Debian" or something. This can
 be useful for bug reports sent to upstream.

The current bld_info contents could be used as a default if one is not
specified.

I've pushed two changes upstream which will make the build reproducible:
http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/deller/palo.git/commit/?id=db563d9c49054409959f9befbcb05d28a6d68c20

Great stuff! 545 days on, in which time the Reproducible Builds
effort has come on a long way, could you see your way to uploading
a fixed version?
