Subject: minlog: reproducible builds: Embedded timestamps in PDF files

Date: Thu, 31 Dec 2020 00:43:10 -0800

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

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

The build timestamp is embedded in various PDF files:

  https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/bullseye/amd64/diffoscope-results/minlog.html

  /usr/share/doc/minlog/mlcf.pdf

  January·20,·2022
  vs.
  December·19,·2020

The attached patch fixes this by setting FORCE_SOURCE_DATE=1 in
debian/rules, which texlive needs in order to respect SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH,
which is set during debian package builds to the timestamp in the latest
debian/changelog entry.

Thanks for maintaining minlog!


live well,
