Greetings! Following the link you reference, it appears that I do not
need to export this variable, right? Debhelper is at a later version in
unstable.
=============================================================================
The package would not become immediately reproducible with this
solution though because it does not use dh in debian/rules but
instead classic debhelper. Because of that $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH has
to be exported in debian/rules [3]
=============================================================================
Setting the variable
Debhelper (as of 9.20150628.0~reproducible3, see commit and bug) exports this
variable during its build, so if you are using debhelper you don't
(in theory) need to do anything extra.
CDBS (as of 0.4.130.0~reproducible3, see commit and bug) exports this variable
during its build.
As a last resort to be avoided where possible, package maintainers may set and
export this variable manually in debian/rules:
export SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH = $(shell date -d "$$(dpkg-parsechangelog -SDate)" +%s)
=============================================================================
Take care,
