Bug#991926: grub2: reproducible builds: timestamps in info pages

[Vagrant Cascadian]

Source: grub2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: timestamps
X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-bugs at lists.alioth.debian.org

Timestamps are embedded in the info pages shipped in grub2-common:

  https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/bullseye/amd64/diffoscope-results/grub2.html

  ./usr/share/info/grub.info-1.gz

  ...27·August·2022
  vs.
  ...24·July·2021


The attached patches fix this by removing the UPDATED parts from
docs/grub-dev.texi and docs/grub.texi.


There are still several other outstanding issues affecting the
reproducibility of grub2(including other timestamp issues), but this
should help reduce the differences to troubleshoot the remaining issues.


Thanks for maintaining grub2!


live well,
