[Pkg-mozext-maintainers] Bug#795395: adblock-plus: please make the build reproducible

Source: adblock-plus
Version: 2.6.9.1+dfsg+4real-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed
that adblock-plus could not be built reproducibly.

The attached patch sets the timezone to UTC before calling the build.py
script to avoid timezone differences in zip metadata. Once applied,
adblock-plus can be builtreproducibly in our current experimental framework.
