Notes for netsurf - reproducible builds result

Version annotated: 3.2+dfsg-2
Identified issues:
Identifier: timestamps_in_png
URL https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds/TimestampsInPNG
Description PNG can capture build time with the tIME chunk or custom keywords.
These timestamps are currently removed by strip-nondeterminism, so are not visible to diffoscope anymore. Yet fixing the root cause would be nice.
Identifier: user_hostname_manually_added_requiring_further_investigation
Description Packages which intentionally capture the username or hostname into a custom format,
but aren't obviously using any tool or system which has this as a core issue.
Interesting because they could be fixed by fixing these things at build time.
Identifier: timestamps_in_gzip_headers
URL https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds/TimestampsInGzipHeaders
Description gzip stores a timestamp by default in its header.
