Source: iputils Version: 20121221 Severity: normal Tags: patch User: reproducible-bui...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: timestamps
Hi! While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed that iputils could not be built reproducibly. The attached patch removes extra timestamps from the build system. Once applied, iputils can be built reproducibly in our current experimental framework.
