[Reproducible-builds] Bug#794740: camitk: please make the build reproducible (timestamps)

[Maria Valentina Marin]

Source: camitk
Version: 3.4.0-2
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 camitk could not be built reproducibly since it uses timestamps in
its manpage output.

The attached patch makes camitk use the environment variable
$SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH [2], which was proposed by the Debian reproducible
builds team as a way to still have timestamps in documentation but make
them be reproducible.

The value of the timestamp will be set to the latest entry in
debian/changelog.


Kind Regards,
akira
