tags 777413 + pending patch
thanks

I've just uploaded mailto 1.3.2-3.1 to DELAYED/10:
  
  mailto (1.3.2-3.1) unstable; urgency=medium
  .
* Non-maintainer upload.
* Implement the required build-arch and build-indep targets in debian/rules.
  (Closes: #998978)
* Make the build reproducible by adding "-n" to the gzip(1) invocation.
  (Closes: #777413)

The full debdiff is attached.


Regards,

There hasn't seem to be any update on this bug in 552 days, in which
time the Reproducible Builds effort has come on a long way. :)

Would you consider applying this patch and uploading?

Hi,

While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed
that mailto could not be built reproducibly.

The attached patch removes timestamps from the build system. Once
applied, mailto can be built reproducibly in our current experimental
framework.
