@civodul @jas4711 Just posted V2; when this is merged, building the Guix source tarball is fully reproducible.

That sounds like a rather trivial effort, but #GNU standards mandate inclusion of pre-built documentation...and there seems to be a "let's add a timestamp" fetishism that has spread like a virus.

There are several tools to change the timestamp of a PDF; and there is a specification (v1.7 I believe) that mandates the new timestamp to be *appended*. Which all of these tools now do.

Probably @reproducible_builds should also move into standardization committies if we're ever going to get/keep our builds reproducible.
