Yes that would be enough. But the reproducible team in debian is pushing hard to get a patch into gcc to be able to controle the time,date from the outside, than the patch wouldn't be needed at all. > This git sha info has turned out to be useful when debugging... It is not (that) usefull for us. We have a debian version that actually points to one git tag. Every version that lands on debian has a git tag so there is not additional information in the git sha. It is already patched, that we show the debian version and not the upstream version. I see no advatage to show the git sha, that does not working for us, because we use git also packaging and the git sha, that is shown is a git sha of the http://anonscm.debian.org/cgit/pkg-owncloud/owncloud-client.git repo). I tried it alrealy multiple time to point to the correct git sha of upstream - but had no luck :( These were the two resons that made me to delete the complete part. I know it is only true for debian, for upstream and people that compile from scratch, the git sha can be usefull.
