Todo List: Imagemagick's convert not reproducible in PKGBUILDs

2018-09-26 - Jelle van der Waa

This TODO list if for package which use convert to scale/resize or simply convert an image format. These packages become non reproducible due to the date:create/date:modify will be embedded in the new image and imagemagick does not support SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH.

The solution is to use +set date:create +set date:modify as extra arguments for convert. For example yubikey-personalization-gui has become reproducible after this change. [1] [2]

An example of a broken package can be spotted here. Fixes can be committed in trunk, the reproducible jenkins builder will be rescheduled at a later time. [2]
