[Reproducible-builds] GSoC 2015 Week 12: Move forward reproducible builds

[Maria Valentina Marin]

Hello,

Last week I worked on the following problems:

1. texlive-bin
----------------

I made a new patch which uses UTC in the printed timestamps to
also make the timezone reproducible. A version of texlive-bin containing
this patch can be found in the reproducible builds git repository and
package repository.

- Upstream bug report:
http://tug.org/pipermail/pdftex/2015-August/008962.html

2. man2html
------------

As part of the effort to make bash reproducible I patched man2html to
produce reproducible html output by using $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH.

3. bash & gap-guava
---------------------

This packages were missing the tag fonts_in_pdf_files [1] Packages.yml
has been updated to contain this information.

4. wiki updates
-------------

I modified the TimestampsProposal wiki entry by adding links to the bug
reports against texlive-bin, texi2html, doxygen, and CDBS [2].


Kind Regards,
akira
