Bug#1020879: dustmite: reproducible-builds: timezone/locale dependent date in /usr/bin/dustmite

[Vagrant Cascadian]

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

A timezone and potentially locale dependent date is embedded in
/usr/bin/dustmite:

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

  Aug··3·2022
  vs.
  Aug··4·2022

The attached patch to dustmite.d fixes this by removing the use
of__DATE__.

This is not the only issue affecting the reproducibility of dustmite,
but another patch regarding build paths was recently submitted,
Bug#1020878.

According to my local tests, with both patches applied, dustmite should
build reproducibly on tests.reproducible-builds.org!

Thanks for maintaining dustmite!

live well,
  vagrant
