Hi, Russ Allbery wrote: My feeling is that the date in the man page serves a useful purpose for the end user by communicating some idea of the staleness of the documentation and the recentness of the last release of the software. While this isn't a huge deal, it does feel somewhat less than ideal to lose that data. Replacing it with the last modification date of the Debian package isn't perfect, but it's fairly reasonable. I'm suffering this issue in a different context, which is a binary package that ships a tarball of the kfreebsd (kernel) source. Some of those files are patched by dpkg-source. From #759404 I can see why dpkg-source can't really help with this. It would be a shame to lose / reset all the timestamps, because: * it's useful to know how old a file is, if Debian didn't patch it, * installing the package, extracting files with newer timestamps, could mean some systems for backup or deduplication must treat the files as though they are new/changed, * in a new package revision, if the files in a particular .deb didn't change, it would be nice if the data.tar.xz didn't change; this would be helpful to future work on .deb deltas or deduplication. I suggest to only 'clamp' timestamps to the latest entry in debian/changelog. I think only timestamps newer than this are likely an issue for reproducibility. Older timestamps are potentially still useful.

Re: [Reproducible-builds] debug-sym packages?
Joachim Breitner: it seems that the GHC build builds some auxiliary binaries (e.g. unlit, hp2hs) with the bootstrapping compiler, so for a chance of a fully reproducible build, the ghc package used needs to be fixed as well. That should be the case with ghc-7.8.4-7, uploaded to unstable today.

Steven Chamberlain: * run it on a directory before generating a .deb; might make the data.tar.xz reproducible in some cases even without patching dpkg yet? We are doing that in `dh_builddeb`. An extra 20% of the archive became reproducible when we moved the fix here instead of a separate helper.

In general, all gzip files in the lintian test suite are generated with gzip -n exactly to avoid this tag. Thanks for the report, Niels. strip-nondeterminism was actually adding back the timestamp using the time from the first entry in debian/changelog. I've just fixed it to not add a timestamp if the gzip file doesn't already have one. That said, I'm now concerned about how strip-nondeterminism interacts with the package-contains-timestamped-gzip tag. At some point after package-contains-timestamped-gzip was first proposed, we reproducible builds folks decided that instead of eliminating timestamps, we should normalize them with the time from the first entry in debian/changelog, to satisfy developers who like timestamps. That means that timestamped gzips aren't bad, as long as the timestamp is reproducible. Other reproducible folks, is this still our position on timestamps? If so, what should become of package-contains-timestamped-gzip? -- Andrew ___ Reproducible-builds mailing list Reproducible-builds@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/reproducible-builds
