Lunar: Reproducible builds: week 11 in Stretch cycle
![](http://planet.debian.org/heads/lunar.png)
Debian is undertaking a huge effort to develop a reproducible builds system. I'd like to thank you for that. This could be Debian's most important project, with how badly computer security has been going.
PerniciousPunk in Reddit's Ask me anything! to Neil McGovern, DPL. What happened in the reproducible builds effort this week: Toolchain fixes More tools are getting patched to use the value of the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable as the current time:
- libxslt in #791815 (Dhole),
- texlive-bin via upstream (#792202) (akira),
- sphinx via upstream (Dmitry Shachnev).
- doxygen to support SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH (akira),
- debhelper now set
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
to the time of the latestdebian/changelog
entry when exporting build flags, patch sent as #791823 (Dhole), - epydoc to support SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH (Reiner Herrmann),
texlive-bin
(akira) andlibxslt
(Dhole) with the aforementioned support forSOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
.
debhelper
exported TZ=UTC
and this made packages capturing the current date (without the time) reproducible in the current test environment.
