[Pkg-mc-devel] Bug#828683: mc: please make the build reproducible

Source: mc
Version: 3:4.8.17-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi!

While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed
that mc could not be built reproducibly.
It embeds the current date into the mcedit manpage during build.

The attached patch uses SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH as a deterministic
timestamp instead.

Regards,
 Reiner
