Bug#1036571: vcmi: reproducible-builds: build timestamps in binaries

Source: vcmi
Version: 1.1.0+dfsg-1
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: timestamps

The build year is embedded inside various binaries as a copyright
declaration. This not only makes the package unreproducible, it is
inaccurate, as the build process does not generate any copyrightable
content.

The attached patch fixes this from by replacing the year with "present".

According to my local tests, with this patch applied (and build paths
held constant), vcmi should build reproducibly! (The salsa reprotest job
has both time and build_path variations disabled, apparently)

Thanks for maintaining vcmi!

live well,
  vagrant
