Hi, Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that displaycal-py3 could not be built reproducibly. This is because the /usr/share/metainfo/net.displaycal.DisplayCAL.appdata.xml file contained the current date: │ │ │ │ │ <id>dispcalGUI.desktop</id> │ │ │ │ │ <id>displaycal.desktop</id> │ │ │ │ │ </provides> │ │ │ │ │ <releases> │ │ │ │ │ - <release version="3.9.19" date="2026-08-05"> │ │ │ │ │ + <release version="3.9.19" date="2027-09-08"> Patch attached that seeds this from SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, if it exists.
