Subject: gnu-standards: reproducible builds: Embedded timestamps in .dvi file

Date: Sun, 03 Oct 2021 10:09:27 -0700

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

Source: gnu-standards
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 .dvi files:

  https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/diffoscope-results/gnu-standards.html

  /usr/share/doc/gnu-standards/maintain.dvi.gz

  ··TeX·output·2022.
vs.
  ··TeX·output·2021.

  ··09.23:2204......
vs.
  ··08.22:1745......

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.

  https://reproducible-builds.org/docs/source-date-epoch/

With this patch applied, gnu-standards should build reproducibly on
tests.reproducible-builds.org

Thanks for maintaining gnu-standards!

live well,
