Hi,

Whilst working on the "reproducible builds" effort [0], we noticed that cmtk could not be built reproducibly.

Patch attached that addresses most of the problem. However, due to the use of default values in the "help" output, the "--time" entry for the manpage actually displays the current (default) time!

It actually does this in a totally broken way, not converting it to a char, so you end up with weird stuff on the command line, but it shouldn't be shown anyway if we want to be reproducible.

Dear Maintainer,

There hasn't seem to be any update on this bug in 70 days, in which
time the Reproducible Builds effort has come on a long way. :)

Would you consider applying this patch and uploading?

will do now with a new upstream release

could you please elaborate a bit more on 

    Patch attached that addresses most of the problem. However, due to the use of default values in the "help" output, the "--time" entry for the manpage actually displays the current (default) time!

    It actually does this in a totally broken way, not converting it to a char, so you end up with weird stuff on the command line, but it shouldn't be shown anyway if we want to be reproducible.

in the original report (if you remember details, sorry for lagging)?

I do not see any dates in the --help output of cmtk cmdlines... I guess I
am just missing just tiny detail ;)

Hm, I can't find that anymore, nor remember anything whatsoever about
it — too many bugs and too long ago!

Perhaps it one of these:

  https://codesearch.debian.net/search?q=%22Computation+time+statistics+output+file+name%22

Feel free to ignore it; if the package remains unreproducible it will
become immediately obvious...

Subject: Re: cmtk: please make the build (mostly) reproducible - closing the bug

Date: Fri, 12 Nov 2021 14:54:51 +0100

Hi,

when taking over this package to Debian Med I checked the bug reports.
It seems the bug can be closed:


cmtk (3.3.1-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * New upstream primarily a bugfix release
  * Took a patch to make manpages more reproducible (partially addresses
    #827994)
...

I confirm the patch was applied in that version and is also part of
the code I will upload now.

Feel free to reopen if I might be wrong.

Kind regards

      Andreas.
