Is there a bg about it somewhere? We met a lot of push backs when originally we were trying to *remove* as many datetimes as possible. Since then we found it was much easier to ask people to programatically set those datetimes to the value of SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, which in Debian we set to the time in the topmost pargraph of d/changelog. pod2man has been patched exactly to that goal, and it does make rrdtools reproducible indeed. I don't have an opinion on how to best approach this issue. -- regards, Mattia Rizzolo GPG Key: 66AE 2B4A FCCF 3F52 DA18 4D18 4B04 3FCD B944 4540 .''`. more about me: https://mapreri.org : :' : Launchpad user: https://launchpad.net/~mapreri `. `'` Debian QA page: https://qa.debian.org/developer.php?login=mattia `-
