Package: texi2html Version: 1.82+dfsg1 Severity: normal Tags: patch User: reproducible-builds@lists.alioth.debian.org
Hi! While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed that texi2html could not allow to built documentation reproducibly. The attached patch adds the flag use-date that allows use the given string for the date, instead the generated timestamps. Once applied, we can build reproducibly the packages that use texi2html for generate documentation in our current experimental framework.
