Bug#995654: malaga: reproducible builds: Embedded timestamps in .dvi, .pdf and .ps files



Source: malaga
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: timestamps

The build timestamp is embedded in various .dvi, .pdf and .ps files:

  https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/diffoscope-results/malaga.html

  /usr/share/doc/malaga-doc/malaga.pdf.gz

The attached patch fixes this by setting FORCE_SOURCE_DATE=1 in
debian/rules, which texlive needs in order to respect SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH,
which is set during debian package builds to the timestamp in the latest
debian/changelog entry.

With this patch applied, malaga should build reproducibly on
tests.reproducible-builds.org

Thanks for maintaining malaga!

live well,
