Source: dict-jargon Version: 4.4.7-2 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: timestamps X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Hi, While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed that dict-jargon could not be built reproducibly. The attached patch removes timestamps from the build system. Once applied, dict-jargon can be built reproducibly in our current experimental framework. [1]: https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds Regards, -- Dhole
