Bug#978054: autoconf: reproducible builds: build time embedded in various documentation files

Vagrant Cascadian vagrant at reproducible-builds.org
Fri Dec 25 09:18:09 GMT 2020


Package: autoconf
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: timestamps
X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-bugs at lists.alioth.debian.org

Some documentation files still manage to capture the build time even
after applying the patch from #950416:

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

  /usr/share/doc/autoconf/autoconf.html

  This·manual·(25·December·2020)·is·for·GNU·Autoconf
  This·manual·(27·January·2022)·is·for·GNU·Autoconf

The attached patch fixes this by removing the UPDATED value from
autoconf.texi, used to generate these documentation files.
