Bug#950704: automake-1.15: timestamps in info files break reproducibility

[Vagrant Cascadian]

Package: automake-1.15
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: reproducible-builds at lists.alioth.debian.org
Usertags: timestamps
X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-bugs at lists.alioth.debian.org

When building automake-1.15 on different months, it leads to month and
year getting embedded in the info pages, breaking reproducible
builds. This was already fixed in the debian "automake" packaging.

A simple patch is attached, backporting the commit from the debian
"automake" packaging with minor adjustments.


Alternately or additionally maybe follow-up on removing automake-1.15
from debian (#909210) in time for bullseye?


live well,
