Package: qtbase5-dev-tools Version: 5.9.2+dfsg-12 Severity: wishlist Tags: upstream User: reproducible-bui...@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: timestamps toolchain
Hi, While investigating ultracopier's lack of build reproducibility, I found out that rcc encodes the timestamp of the files the QRC file being compiled references (see end of RCCFileInfo::writeDataInfo()). This becomes a problem for generated files because the output of rcc is then different in 2 different builds. It would be nice if rcc had an option to encode a stable timestamp, eg. EPOCH.
