Bug#995145: cyrus-sasl2: reproducible builds: timestamps in man pages

[Vagrant Cascadian]

Source: cyrus-sasl2
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: timestamps
X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-bugs at lists.alioth.debian.org

Timestamps are embedded in man pages generated by sphinx:

  https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/unstable/i386/diffoscope-results/cyrus-sasl2.html

  /usr/share/man/man3/sasl.3.gz

  .TH·"SASL"·"3"·"August·23,·2022"·"2.1.27"·"Cyrus·SASL"
  vs.
  .TH·"SASL"·"3"·"July·22,·2021"·"2.1.27"·"Cyrus·SASL"

The attached patch fixes this by passing a specific date during the
build, using SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH defined from debian/changelog.

With this patch applied cyrus-sasl2 should become reproducible on
tests.reproducible-builds.org.


Thanks for maintaining cyrus-sasl2!


live well,
