Source: dkimpy Version: 1.1.8-2 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch User: reproducible-builds@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: nocheck X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-bugs@lists.alioth.debian.org

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that dkimpy could not be built reproducibly.

This is because the testsuite bumps the modification time of the /dkim/tests/ directory to the current time (which later gets clamped back to SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH), so if the tests are skipped via nocheck, then this directory will retain its original, upstream timestamp.

Instead of saving upstream's original timestamp and restoring that later, I've attached a patch to always set the mtime of this directory to SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH regardless of whether the tests are run or not.
