Package: a2ps Severity: normal Tags: patch User: reproducible-builds@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: timestamps X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-bugs@lists.alioth.debian.org The embedded copy of help2man that a2ps uses to generate manpages is an old version that does not support SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, and thus embeds timestamps in generated manpages. The attached patch adds help2man to build-depends and patches various Makefiles to use the system help2man binary, which supports SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH. Thanks for maintaining a2ps! live well, vagrantFrom 3dd10ad40c8d8d4af9d8c0e3c749dde69d620a57 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Vagrant Cascadian <vagrant@reproducible-builds.org> Date: Tue, 29 Dec 2020 07:34:39 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 2/6] man/Makefile.*: Patch to use the system help2man.
