[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Source: tkgate
Version: 2.1+repack-8
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds@lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: nocheck
X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-bugs@lists.alioth.debian.org
Hi,
Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that
tkgate could not be built reproducibly.
This is because it ships a different binary package depending on
whether the testsuite is run or not.
Specifically, running the tests bumps the modification time of the
test/tkgate directory (as files are created inside), and so the binary
package has different directory metadata depending on whether the tests
are run or not.
A patch is attached that will set the mtime of this directory to the
value of SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH regardless of whether the tests are run or
not.
