Bug#983202: time: reproducible builds: Embeds date in documentation

Vagrant Cascadian vagrant at reproducible-builds.org
Sun Feb 21 01:24:44 GMT 2021


Source: time
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: timestamps
X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-bugs at lists.alioth.debian.org

The timezone affects the date embedded in the info page and html
documentation:

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

  /usr/share/doc/time/time.html

  updated·14·February·2021
  vs.
  updated·19·March·2022

The attached patch fixes this by removing the updated date from the
documentation files. The build date is not really when the content was
last updated, so is a bit misleading anyways.


Thanks for maintaining time!


live well,
  vagrant
