Source: bind9 Version: 1:9.9.5.dfsg-9 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: timestamps X-Debbugs-CC: [email protected]
Hi! While working on Debian's “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed that bind9 doesn't build reproducibly. The binary gets a timestamp of the build date embedded. The attached patch defines a macro that prevents that the timestamp will be part of the version string. Regards, Reiner [1]: https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds
