[Reproducible-builds] Bug#784586: kiwi: please make the build reproducible

[Jelmer Vernooij]

Source: kiwi
Version: 1.9.22-2
Severity: wishlist
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: timestamps

While working on the “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed
that kiwi could not be built reproducibly. This is caused by pydoctor
including the build time in API documentation.

I'm going to upload a new version of kiwi that passes a specific build
time to pydoctor, and am filing this bug to track the progress.
