For CreationDate/ModDate, I think it should honor SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH as in <https://anonscm.debian.org/git/printing/ghostscript.git/tree/debian/patches/2010_add_build_timestamp_setting.patch?id=e2bf3ad7026afe13636d4937430c3fdae7854078>. For the two UUIDs (and “ID” too?), maybe we can use, say, GS_GENERATE_UUIDS; if set to 0 or “no” it’s disable, otherwise it’s enabled. > Also, where would we set it so the build processes of all the other > packages actually pick it up? Eventually we can add it to gnu-build-system.scm, but for now, given that core-updates is well built, we should add it on a case-by-case basis. I don’t think there are that many packages that produce PDFs, but I could be wrong. How does that sound? Thank you, Ludo’.
