[Reproducible-builds] GSoC 2015 Week 2: Move forward reproducible builds

[marivalen]

Hello,

After I finished my last university project for the current semester
this Thursday, I finally started working on the "Move forward
reproducible builds" project. =)

I have been working on packages which are marked as affected by
timestamps_in_documentation_generated_by_doxygen [1] and other doxygen
related issues.

I submitted a bug to Doxygen upstream about adding the option to build
manpages without timestamps:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/750447

I commented about it on this bugreport and set the forwarded tag to
above url:

https://bugs.debian.org/785624

and I updated the wiki page:
https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds/TimestampsInManpagesGeneratedByDoxygen



Patches were submitted for the following packages:
