A build number derived from the build time is embedded in various
/usr/share/doc/freetds-doc/reference/*_source.html files:

  https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/bookworm/amd64/diffoscope-results/freetds.html

  #define·TDS_VERSION_BUILD_NUMBER·856
  vs.
  #define·TDS_VERSION_BUILD_NUMBER·1256

The attached patch to configure.ac fixes this by instead using the value of
SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH for the BUILD_NUMBER if it is set, and falling back to
the default behavior if it is not set.

Alternately, I tried instead passing --date=@$SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH to the
various date calls, but for some reason that was not sufficient.


According to my local tests, with this patch applied freetds should build
reproducibly on tests.reproducible-builds.org!

Thanks for maintaining freetds!


live well,
