Bug#978088: rheolef: reproducible builds: date in various .pdf files

[Pierre Saramito]

Dear Vagrant, 

Many thanks for your patch: it has just been integrated in a new 
release 7.1-3 of the debianization of the Rheolef package. 
It has also been integrated for the next upstream version. 

Best wishes, 

Pierre

Bug#978088: rheolef: reproducible builds: date in various .pdf files

[Vagrant Cascadian]

Package: rheolef
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-bui...@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: timestamps timezone
X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-b...@lists.alioth.debian.org

Various .pdf files include the build date:

  
https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/bullseye/amd64/diffoscope-results/rheolef.html

  /usr/share/doc/rheolef-doc/rheolef.pdf

  version·7.1·update·21·March·2020
  vs.
  version·7.1·update·22·March·2020


It appears to respect SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH but without respecting the
timezone.


The attached patch fixes this by removing calls to the LASTUPDATE
function from several .tex and .sty source files, avoiding embedding the
date entirely.


Thanks for maintaining rheolef!


live well,
  vagrant
