I propose to build release tarballs from clean checked out source, and to set file timestamps right after checkout, e.g. git clone /path/to/strace.git && cd strace && git-set-file-times && autoreconf -i && ./configure --enable-maintainer-mode && TAR_OPTIONS='--owner=0 --group=0 --numeric-owner --mode=go-w,go+rX' make distcheck A few words about TAR_OPTIONS: "--owner=0 --group=0 --numeric-owner" is used to avoid information disclosure, and "--mode=go-w,go+rX" is advisable to avoid umask side effects. Maybe we could sacrifice portability and add this TAR_OPTIONS definition to Makefile.am -- ldv
