[Pkg-linaro-lava-devel] Bug#844102: lava-dispatcher: please make the build reproducible

[Chris Lamb]

Source: lava-dispatcher
Version: 2016.11-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed
that lava-dispatcher could not be built reproducibly. This was
because it parses the build path to determine its version number.

Patch attached.
