Source: sphinx-needs Version: 5.1.0+dfsg-7 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch User: reproducible-builds@lists.alioth.debian.org Usertags: nondeterministic X-Debbugs-Cc: reproducible-bugs@lists.alioth.debian.org

Hi,

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

This is because the documentation (via the sphinx.ext.duration) Sphinx extension, generates a sphinx-reading-durations.json file. This does not seem to be used by the docs itself, so can be removed.

Patch attached that simply removes this file. I did try disabling its generation by passing another -D option in SPHINXOPT but this did not work; perhaps you will have better luck.
