[Reproducible-builds] Bug#797440: libavg: please make the build reproducible

[Reiner Herrmann]

Source: libavg
Version: 1.8.1-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch

Hi!

While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed
that libavg could not be built reproducibly.
The building username, hostname, platform and build time are embedded into
a binary.

The attached patch fixes this by using the date from the latest changelog entry
and replacing the username/hostname with a static value.

Regards,
 Reiner
