I was referring to a hypothetical diff that you might generate
locally; updating the result on tests.reproducible-builds.org would
require a new upload. :)

It perhaps should, but alas it does not. When I apply my patch, the
user ID, group ID and timestamp differences do disappear for me too,
but that is not the only difference I see. I mean, hence why I said
that my patch "does not make the ISOs entirely reproducible; there is
another part or parts of the image that elude me right now". :)

I wouldn't jump to the conclusion that it is a bug in xorriso just
yet. It might be reproducible for you locally, but it is likely I am
varying more things between my two builds. And even more on
tests.reproducible-builds.org.

The next step might be to upload with this patch so we can both work
with the same output on tests.reproducible-builds.org.

Ah, neat. :)  Yes, of course, feel free to use this over touch(1).
