The build date is embedded in various manpages in a timezone-dependent
way:
https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/amd64/diffoscope-results/claws-mail.html
/usr/share/man/man7/claws-mail-acpi-notifier.7.gz
.TH·CLAWS-MAIL-ACPI-NOTIFIER·7·"2022-10-31"·"4.1.1-1"·"Claws·Mail"
vs.
.TH·CLAWS-MAIL-ACPI-NOTIFIER·7·"2022-11-01"·"4.1.1-1"·"Claws·Mail"
The attached patch to debian/rules fixes this by setting ISO_DATE using
the UTC timezone.
According to my local tests, With this patch applied claws-mail should
build reproducibly on tests.reproducible-builds.org!
Thanks for maintaining claws-mail!
live well,
vagrant
