Source: tth Version: 4.05+ds-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch User: reproducible-builds@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: timestamps X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-builds@lists.alioth.debian.org Hi! While working on the "reproducible builds"€ effort [1], we have noticed that tth could not be built reproducibly. The build timestamp is embedded into several HTML files. The attached patch fixes this by removing the timestamp from generated HTML files, as it provides no useful information anyway. Regards, Reiner [1]: https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds

+Description: Don't embed timestamp into HTML
+ For generated HTML files, the current timestamp is embedded.
+ As this prevents the package from building reproducible and
+ provides no useful information it can be removed.
