Sometime ago, I asked here about reproducible PDF output, and was told
about the --nodates option of context. It worked then, but doesn't seem
to be working now, with a recent version of context.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
$ cat foo.tex
\starttext
Hello, world!
\stoptext
$ ( rm -f a b foo.log foo.pdf foo.tuc && \
context --nodates foo.tex && cp foo.pdf a && \
sleep 1 && \
context --nodates foo.tex && cp foo.pdf b ) > /dev/null && \
md5sum a b
bdd1911005623a519f5ecb3dbcb8bc7b a

$ context --version

mtx-context | current version: 2018.04.19 15:53
----------------------------------------------------------------------
File `a' has the words "pdfx:IDfoo.2018-04-24T01:49:47-19:00",
and file `b' has "pdfx:IDfoo.2018-04-24T01:49:49-19:00" at
the corresponding position.
Please tell me how to ensure that the PDF output depends only on the
source, and not on the time the output is generated.
Thanks,
Raghu.
