Hi,
It seems the patch "deterministic-latex.patch" is not working as it should.
I guess it may have to do with the way it uses escape sequences (in my
case, "\\fixedpdfdate" is actually replaced by a form feed character
followed by "ixedpdfdate" in the final .tex file).
Attached is an updated version of the patch that fixes the issue for me.
It uses "printf" instead of "echo" to avoid possible issues with the
interpretation of escape sequences.
It blanks the "ModDate" & "CreationDate" fields instead of trying to be
smart about them.
It also removes pdfLaTeX's banner & trailer ID from the final output
(which may also fix the issue you reported about different versions of
the build-dependencies resulting in different output files).
Best regards,
François
