[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#997037: kvirc: reproducible builds: embeds username in .html documentation

[Vagrant Cascadian]

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

The username is embedded in various .html documentation files:

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

  ./usr/share/kvirc/5.0/help/en/class_button.html

  <div·class='footer'>KVIrc·5.0.0·Documentation·-·generated·by·pbuilder1·on·Sat·Jul·10·07:26:08·2021</div>
vs.
  <div·class='footer'>KVIrc·5.0.0·Documentation·-·generated·by·pbuilder2·on·Sat·Jul·10·07:26:08·2021</div>

The attached patch fixes this by removing the username from gendoc.pl
which generates the documentation.

The patch also removes the timestamp, which appears to respect
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH and is reproducible, but does not really convey useful
information for the documentation.


With these patches applied, kvirc should become reproducible on
tests.reproducible-builds.org when the patched version lands in
bookworm/testing (there are build path variations tested for
experimental/unstable that are unresolved).


Thanks for maintaining kvirc!


live well,
