Bug#990839: opentest4j: reproducible builds: timestamp embedded in shipped .jar file

[Vagrant Cascadian]

Package: opentest4j
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

The shipped opentest4j-1.2.0.jar embeds the time, date and timezone in
the build:

  https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/bullseye/amd64/diffoscope-results/opentest4j.html

  ./usr/share/java/opentest4j-1.2.0.jar

  Build-Date:·2022-07-12\xd
  vs.
  Build-Date:·2021-06-09\xd
 	
  Build-Time:·01:50:58.592-1200\xd
  vs.
  Build-Time:·21:32:48.944+1400\xd


The attached patch modifies build.gradle to set the timezone to UTC when
the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable is defined, and use
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH to set the timestamp.


With this patch applied, opentest4j should become reproducible in the
tests.reproducible-builds.org infrastructure.


Thanks for maintaining opentest4j!


live well,
