timestamps_difference_by_unzip

Description
|
Timestamps in files processed by zip/unzip have timezone variations.
Setting TZ=UTC before calling zip/unzip the file can fix this.

|
|
Description
|
We currently adjust the file mtimes in dh_builddeb. Packages which
calls `dpkg --build` directly should have a prior call to:
`export SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH = $(shell date -d "$$(dpkg-parsechangelog --count 1 -SDate)" +%s)`
and
`find debian/tmp -newermt "@$$SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH" -print0 | \
xargs -0r touch --no-dereference --date="@$$SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH"`
Another option is to convert the build system to `dh`.
