[Reproducible-builds] Bug#787303: dos2unix: please make the build reproducible

[Juan Picca]

Package: dos2unix
Version: 6.0.4-1
Severity: wishlist

Usertags: timestamps 

Hi!

While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed
that dos2unix could not be built reproducibly.

The attached patch removes extra timestamps from the build system.
Once applied, dos2unix can be built reproducibly in our current experimental
framework.
