The build year and week of year is embedded in several .pc files: https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/bookworm/amd64/diffoscope-results/plymouth.html /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig/ply-boot-client.pc Version:·22.32. vs. Version:·23.37. This is because configure.ac sets the VERSION and PACKAGE_VERSION variables based on the date and available git information. The attached patch fixes this by using the version from debian/changelog. If only the upstream version is preferred, then simply appending a sed call could also be used: dpkg-parsechangelog --show-field Version | sed -e 's,-.*,,g' With this patch applied, plymouth should build reproducibly on tests.reproducible-builds.org! Thanks for maintaining plymouth! live well, vagrant

Subject: [PATCH] configure.ac: Avoid embedding the date in the version.
Use the version from the last debian/changelog entry, otherwise the
build will differ if built on a different year and week and from git
builds vs. builds from source tarball.
