Bug#783647: win32-loader: please make the build reproducible



Source: win32-loader
Version: 0.7.9
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: timestamps

Hi!

While working on the “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed
that win32-loader could not be built reproducibly.

The attached patch—based on Git master—fixes timestamps related
variations from the build system. Once applied, win32-loader can be
built reproducibly in our current experimental framework.

Subject: [PATCH] Make package build reproducibly

All the issues were timestamps related. Here are the fixes:

First, we ask mingw to stop inserting timestamps when building NSIS DLLs.

Then, a date is used as the value of VIProductVersion. This now can be set
through a variable.

The modification time of the files that gets built to be embedded in the
installer gets written to the result. So these mtimes are now capped to the
build date.

Finally, the date is then set in debian/rules to the latest debian/changelog
entry to be the same accross builds.
