Package: python-reportlab Version: 3.3.0-1 Severity: normal Tags: patch User: reproducible-bui...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: toolchain timestamps
Hi, While working on the “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have noticed that reportlab embeds current timestamp in the generated PDF. This behavior make packages whose documentation is generated with reportlab unreproducible. The attached patch fixes this behavior honoring the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH [2] environment variable. [1] https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds [2] https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/
Description: Honour SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable If the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable is set, reportlab will use it instead of the current timestamp. See https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/ . python-reportlab (3.3.0-1.0~reproducible1) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium . * Honour SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, to generate PDFs reproducibly Author: boyska <piutto...@logorroici.org> --- The information above should follow the Patch Tagging Guidelines, please checkout http://dep.debian.net/deps/dep3/ to learn about the format.
