The keyutils from auristor

keyutils's Introduction

These tools are used to control the key management system built into the Linux
kernel.

To build and install the tools and manual pages, run:

	make
	make install

If your glibc does not contain definitions for the new error codes and system
calls, then try:

	make NO_GLIBC_KEYERR=1

The tools are licensed under the GPL and the utility library under the LGPL.

Reproducibility patch file concerns

Hi,

I am using this repository in a project of mine. I am using the commit 4723f0185d11b13df243ad3cd41fbddfed53b5b1. One of the aims of the project is to showcase reproducibility.

I have noticed that this repository gets marked as non-reproducible because of two reasons:

There is a date stamp integrated inside of the makefile
There is a unique buildid that gets generated

At the moment, I have the following patch file:

diff --git a/Makefile b/Makefile

This technically solves both problems. However, the concern and purpose of this question is: how do I fix the buildid that gets generated. I understand I haven't done it optimally, but this does get the job done and the functionality of the program is unaffected.

However, I would like advice on an optimal solution for the date-stamp and unique buildid.

Thank you
