[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#782899: jquery: please make the build reproducible

Source: jquery
Version: 1.7.2+dfsg-3.2
Severity: wishlist

Hi!

While working on Debian's “reproducible builds” effort [1], we have
noticed that jquery doesn't build reproducibly.
An unreproducible timestamp is embedded into the jquery.js file.

There is already a patch that changes the timestamp that is used.
I modified it to use the latest timestamp from debian/changelog
instead of the build time.

Regards,
 Reiner
