Follow-up Comment #4, bug #57218 (project groff):
I think groff should not write %%CreationDate into PostScript files it
creates. Not because of reproducible builds, which i consider a useless and
even detrimental feature, but because of privacy concerns. That would also
solve this so-called "problem" as a side effect.
Basically, it amounts to something like deleting these lines from
src/devices/grops/ps.cpp:
{
fputs("%%CreationDate: ", out.get_file());
#ifdef LONG_FOR_TIME_T
long
#else
time_t
#endif
t = current_time();
fputs(ctime(&t), out.get_file());
}
