[Reproducible-builds] Bug#824037: courier: please make the build reproducible (environment, timestamps)

Source: courier
Version: 0.76.1-1
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

While working on the “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed
that 'courier' could not be built reproducibly.

The attached patch honours the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable
[2] to set the imapd version string from the last debian/changelog date,
and sets the shell to /bin/sh whatever SHELL is.
Once applied, courier can be built reproducibly in our current
experimental framework.

Regards,
Alexis Bienvenüe.
