Hi,
Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0] we noticed that
eric could not be built reproducibly.
This is because it embeds a bunch of build-time information in the
eric6install.json file. My quick reading of the Eric source code
suggests that not installing this file is correctly handled at run-
time, so a patch is attached to remove this file from the binary
packages.
