Backport #8878: contents of test-unit.gemspec not reproducible

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: nagachika (Tomoyuki Chikanaga)

[terceiro (Antonio Terceiro)]

Because the input gemspec does not contain a date, the generated gemspec will have a different date depending on when Ruby was
compiled.

On Debian we want to support multiarch, and that requires architecture-independent files to be byte-by-byte identical.

The attached patch fixes this by adding an explicit date to the gemspec.
