dh_strip_nondeterminism - strip uninteresting, nondeterministic information from files
Contents
Description
dh_strip_nondeterminism is a debhelper program that is responsible for stripping uninteresting,
nondeterministic information, such as timestamps, from compiled files so that the build is reproducible.
This program examines your package build directories and works out what to strip on its own. It uses
file(1) and filenames to figure out what files should have nondeterminism stripped from them. In general
it seems to make very good guesses, and will do the right thing in almost all cases.
