Source: mrd6 Version: 0.9.6-12 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch upstream User: reproducible-bui...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: timestamps X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-bui...@lists.alioth.debian.org
Hi! While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed that mrd6 could not be built reproducibly. It embeds the build date into the binary. The attached patch strips this to enable reproducible building. Regards, Reiner [1]: https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds
