Bug#886988: texlive-extra: please make the build reproducible
Source: texlive-extra
Version: 2017.20180103-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,
Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed
that texlive-extra could not be built reproducibly.
This is because of timestamps in jar files:
cd tex4ht ; javac *.java */*.java */*/*.java -d ../tex4ht-java
cd tex4ht-java ; jar cvf ../texmf-dist/tex4ht/bin/tex4ht.jar .
Adding a call to dh_strip_nondeterminism is the easiest way of fixing
this; patch attached.
