Last I tried, apart from the time issue, I believe I also got an issue with the way some images were generated into the resulting PDF. The generated image code would simply change from one run to another. IIRC, I worked around time issue using 'faketime': https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds/TimestampsProposal . We could use that in our doc/Makefile if the other issues are resolved. -- Sunil
