Source: doc-base Version: 0.10.6 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 doc-base could not be built reproducibly. The attached patch sets the timeznoe to UTC for the timestamps in the docs. Once applied, doc-base can be built reproducibly in our current experimental framework. [1]: https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds Regards, -- Dhole
