Hi! In 3.0.1+dfsg-6 a patch has been added that allows packages to disable embedding of timestamps. But the default behavior of epydoc is to still embed timestamps (which requires modifications for each package using epydoc). If timestamps have to be kept, we have a proposal for using deterministic ones [1] (based on the latest debian/changelog entry), which is contained in the environment variable SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH (which will hopefully soon be exported by debhelper). The attached patch proposes a way to use this variable to get reproducible timestamps, if the variable has been set (if not, it falls back to the old behavior). Regards, Reiner [1]: https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds/TimestampsProposal
