Bug#977330: uhd: reproducible builds: Embeds timestamp in build log

[Vagrant Cascadian]

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

A build log file included with the shipped documentation files embeds
the build time:

  https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/bullseye/amd64/diffoscope-results/uhd.html
  /usr/share/doc/uhd-host/doxygen/latex/refman.log.gz

  1 This·is·pdfTeX,·Version·3.14159265-2.6-1.40.21·(TeX·Live·2020/Debian)·(preloaded·format=pdflatex·2020.12.11)··11·DEC·2020·17:05

The attached patch fixes this by removing the documentation sources from
the documentation directory in debian/rules.

If the sources for the documentation are intentionally included, please
consider adjusting the patch to just remove the refman.log file.

With this issue fixed, uhd should become reproducible once it reaches
bullseye, although unstable and experimental also vary build path,
causing other reproducibility issues with uhd.


Thanks for maintaining uhd!


live well,
