Bug#961942: mono: mono-source: Embeds time, user, group, etc. in mono-source.tar.xz

[Vagrant Cascadian]

Source: mono
Version: 6.8.0.105+dfsg-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: timestamps buildpath locale username
X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-bugs at lists.alioth.debian.org

The time, user id, group id, locale, and in some cases build path change
the resulting /usr/src/mono-source.tar.xz

Attached is a patch which should consistantly produce the same
mono-source.tar.xz regardless of the above variations.

While this doesn't fix all of the reproducibility issues in the mono
source package; it should make the mono-source binary package
reproducible. The diff for mono-source is currently large enough that
diffoscope often times out tests.reproducible-builds.org when comparing,
which makes it harder to diagnose and troubleshoot other outstanding
issues.

Thanks!


live well,
  vagrant
