Hi,
Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that
rust-broot could not be built reproducibly.
This is because the manual page embeds the current year:
│ │ │ ├── ./usr/share/man/man1/broot.1.gz
│ │ │ │ ├── broot.1
│ │ │ │ │ @@ -1,10 +1,10 @@
│ │ │ │ │ .\" Manpage for broot
│ │ │ │ │ .\" Some items starting with a # are replaced on build
│ │ │ │ │ -.TH broot 1 "2025" "1.44.2" "broot manpage"
│ │ │ │ │ +.TH broot 1 "2024" "1.44.2" "broot manpage"
│ │ │ │ │ .SH NAME
│ │ │ │ │ broot \- Tree view, file manager, configurable launcher
│ │ │ │ │ .SH SYNOPSIS
│ │ │ │ │ .B broot
│ │ │ │ │ [\fIflags\fR]
│ │ │ │ │ [\fIoptions\fR]
│ │ │ │ │ [path]
Patch attached that uses SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH to set the year from the
debian/changelog. Note that we can rely on the $(SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH)
Makefile variable being available due to the use of the default.mk
include.
