Subject: hevea: Please support SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH

Date: Thu, 03 Aug 2017 07:18:05 +0200

Package: hevea
Version: 2.29-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: timestamps toolchain

Hi,

currently, latex sources which include statements like \today and thus
have to be built with '-exec xxdate.exe' do not respect the timestamp
set via the environment variable SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH. Thus, source
packages using hevea in this way are currently not reproducible. A quick
check revealed that this affects at least src:dose3 and src:whizzytex.

Since xxdate.exe is just a shell script, the fix is simple. Please
consider applying the patch at the bottom of this email to make packages
using hevea build reproducibly.

Thanks!

cheers, josch
