[Reproducible-builds] Bug#789964: xutils-dev: please make the build reproducible

[Dhole]

Source: xutils-dev
Version: 1:7.7+3
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: timestamps

Hi!

While working on the “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed
that xutils-dev makes some packages not build reproducibly.

The attached patch modifies the default GzipCmd used in Imake from
'gzip' to 'gzip -n' so that timestamps are not stored in packages that
use functions depending on GzipCmd.
Once applied, xtel (and maybe others) can be built reproducibly in our
current experimental framework.
