Bug#995960: xnee: reproducible builds: embeds time and username in documentation

[Vagrant Cascadian]

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

The username and build time is embedded in /usr/share/doc/xnee/xnee.ps.gz.

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

  %DVIPSSource:··TeX·output·2021.10.08:0802
vs.
  %DVIPSSource:··TeX·output·2022.11.11:1638

  %%CreationDate:·Fri·Oct··8·08:02:16·2021
vs.
  %%CreationDate:·Fri·Nov·11·16:37:50·2022
  
  %%For:·pbuilder1
vs.
  %%For:·pbuilder2

The attached patches fix this in debian/rules by setting
FORCE_SOURCE_DATE=1 to fix the DVIPSSource timestamp, and manually
adjusting the CreationDate and For headers in the .ps file directly.

With these patches applied, xnee should be reproducible on
tests.reproducible-builds.org!


Thanks for maintaining xnee!


live well,
