[jira] [Commented] (FOP-2854) CreationDate in PDF metadata breaks
reproducible builds
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2854?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17254077#comment-17254077 ]
Bernhard M. Wiedemann commented on FOP-2854:
--------------------------------------------
Made at patch for CreationDate at [https://github.com/apache/xmlgraphics-fop/pull/65]
However, I also found that our build-compare tool only showed the first diff, so there are indeed more details to get right.

> Key: FOP-2854
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FOP-2854
> Project: FOP
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: renderer/pdf
> Affects Versions: 2.3
> Environment: Debian GNU/Linux
> Reporter: Filippo Rusconi
> Priority: Major
>
> Greetings,
> I would like to report that the CreationDate value that is set in the PDF file changes at each run. This is problematic because that makes it impossible to run FOP in the context of reproducible builds (see https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds).
> Would it be possible to create an option to set that date value manually or some equivalent solution to this problem ?
> Thank you so much for your work on FOP !
> Regards,
> Filippo
