Source: js8call Version: 3.0.3+ds-1 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch User: [email protected] Usertags: timezones X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Hi, Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that js8call could not be built reproducibly. This is because it embeds a date based on SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH that varies based on the build timezone. A patch is attached that uses the 'UTC' flag to CMake's TIMESTAMP function/macro.
