Source: argparse-manpage Version: 4.7-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: timestamps toolchain X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Hi, Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that argparse-manpage generates nondeterministic manpages. This appears to be a regression from version 4.5 which correctly used utcfromtimestamp to parse SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH to a Python datetime object. However, 4.7 uses fromtimestamp (cf. "utcfromtimestamp"), so the generated manual pages differ depending on the surrounding timezone. This is affecting at least the src:psutils and src:virtme-ng packages, but there are likely more. Patch attached. [0] https://reproducible-builds.org/ Regards, -- ,''`. : :' : Chris Lamb `. `'` [email protected] / chris-lamb.co.uk `-
