It is currently marked reproducible in all recent the "bullseye" tests,
so I would say this specific timestamp issue is fixed.

Looking at the history:

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

It seems the timestamp issues were present in early tests of 1.0.4-2,
but then eventually became reproducible in later tests of 1.0.4-2, so
presumably one of the toolchain packages used for building was
fixed.

I'm marking it as "done" in 1.0.4-3, even though the actual fix was
probably in some other package.

Other outstanding issues appear to be build path related, which prevent
it from being marked as reproducible in "unstable" where the build paths
are varied.


live well,
