The systemd build isn't reproducible because systemd embeds a system time epoch (so that on boot if the RTC isn't set at least the clock is set to the right decade). This is based on the mtime of NEWS, which in a tarball is static but in a git clone will be the timestamp of the clone. From meson.build: time_epoch = get_option('time-epoch') if time_epoch == -1 NEWS = files('NEWS') time_epoch = run_command(stat, '-c', '%Y', NEWS).stdout().to_int() endif conf.set('TIME_EPOCH', time_epoch) If reproducible builds are enabled, we should set time-epoch to the reproducible build timestamp instead. This may involve removing the time-epoch PACKAGECONFIG in systemd which doesn't appear to have a purpose.
