Hi, This week I finished my work on ghostscript: I updated the ghostscript patch I was working on last week to match newest version (9.15~dfsg-1). In the version update, some patched files where moved and now the Document ID generated by ghostscript uses localtime so I replaced the function by gp_get_realtime which honours SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH in order to get a reproducible ID. I tested the new patch against some packages I tried last week (with the old version) to check that everything worked properly. I pushed the patch updated to our git repo: https://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/reproducible/ghostscript.git/commit/?h=pu/reproducible_builds&id=d6adec96b93f3ed15474d0e967009c14cd21bb48
I also uploaded the package to our APT repository and sent a bug to Debian:
https://bugs.debian.org/794004
I have updated the experimental toolchain section in the wiki with the
ghostscript patch.
I patched moin to make it build reproducible, after a few headaches :P.
It turned out that zip was adding timestamp metadata not shown by
zipinfo. After normalizing the files mtime, there were still differences
in the zip file not shown by zipinfo: it was the last access time
metadata. Adding -X to zip solved the issue :D.
Patch submitted:
https://bugs.debian.org/794014
I started working on qhelpgenerator to honour SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH. The
patch is written, the build takes quite some time (5+ hours on the
machine I was working on initially, which run out of space, so I
prepared another machine with more space). I have it built and will
proceed with testing next week
I also tagged some packages without notes that were affected by several
issues I can recognize easily now that I've been looking at many
packages for the past two months.
From those packages I patched two:
- whizzytex (remove timestamp)
https://bugs.debian.org/794247
- cortado (replace timestamp with debian/changelog)
https://bugs.debian.org/794248
Best regards,
