Package: texi2html Severity: normal Tags: patch User: reproducible-builds@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: toolchain timestamps username X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-bugs@lists.alioth.debian.org Files generated by texi2html often embed the build user and build date. The attached patch removes the code which embeds the build date and build user in order to achieve reproducible builds for the texi2html package itself, as well as several other packages identified by the reproducible builds project: https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/issues/unstable/texi2html_captures_users_gecos_issue.html Maybe additional packages would benefit from this patch as well. Unfortunately, texi2html appears dead upstream, so I'm not sure there's anywhere to forward this patch to. live well, vagrant
