Bug#978088: rheolef: reproducible builds: date in various .pdf files

[Vagrant Cascadian]

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

Various .pdf files include the build date:

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

  /usr/share/doc/rheolef-doc/rheolef.pdf

  version·7.1·update·21·March·2020
  vs.
  version·7.1·update·22·March·2020


It appears to respect SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH but without respecting the
timezone.


The attached patch fixes this by removing calls to the LASTUPDATE
function from several .tex and .sty source files, avoiding embedding the
date entirely.


Thanks for maintaining rheolef!


live well,
  vagrant
