Bug#979019: lirc: reproducible builds: Embeds timestamps and kernel version in various files

[Vagrant Cascadian]

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

Various files embed timestamps and the running kernel version:

  https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/bullseye/i386/diffoscope-results/lirc.html

  /etc/lirc/lircd.conf.d/devinput.lircd.conf

The attached patch fixes this by adjusting the tools used to generate
these files to not embed the timestamps or kernel version.


Thanks for maintaining lirc!
