[Reproducible-builds] Bug#783290: rkward: Please make build reproducible

[Philip Rinn]

Package: rkward
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream patch

Hi,

while working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], it has been discovered
that rkward could not be built reproducibly. GNU R leaves a build timestamp
(showing date + time + timezone) in the /usr/lib/R/library/*/Description files
it generates.

The attached patch fixes the build timestamp to the timestamp of the last dch
entry. Thisis the default now for all GNUR packagesin Debian, see
https://bugs.debian.org/782764 for reference.

Best,
Philip
