Ok. But when I build binaries from source file, the timestamps will differ too, bot for the object files and the resulting binary. Ditto for creating e.g. the md5sums file of the Debian package and put into control.tar.xz. This file is recreated on every run. So why is this not considered to be "different"? A timestamp differing is not a character of an unreproduible build for me as long as the file contents are exactly the same. So I find this odd.

I think this is more of a global issue. IMHO you shouldn't worry about that regarding webgen. diffoscope only reports the different timestamps, nothing more. So they are esentially the same files. I think this result is rather odd. > Another thing I'm wondering about is the fact that the > copied truetype-fonts in the packages exist only in > compressed format as ttf.gz.
