Re: [Dev-luatex] Reproducible builds using luatex

??? What do you mean with "OS aware" here? "unaware"? I don't see the relation to Debian and/or TeX Live.

OS independent as much as possible 2016-05-04 Karl Berry * texmfmp.c (init_start_time): new fn, factored out from initstarttime. (get_date_and_time): if envvar SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH_TEX_PRIMITIVES is set, initialize minutes, day, month, year, from SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH value. Requested by Debian, thread starting at http://tug.org/pipermail/tex-k/2016-May/002691.html. what happen if Windows decide to reserve SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH for their own use ? Is SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH standard ? And so on. In any case, we (Hans nad me) are actively discussing -- there are several points to check. -- luigi
