Description marivalenm 2015-06-05 10:19:40 UTC 
Hello,

Doxygen offers the option to omit HTML timestamps by setting HTML_TIMESTAMP option to NO but, it does not offer the option the omit timestamps from man pages. 

This will allow to generate documentation that is bit-wise identical between different compilation runs which makes it easier to verify that a given binary was indeed generated from a given source.

This issue is similar to the following bugs: 
- Bug 745439 - PATCH: please consider making doxygen output byte for byte identical between individual runs by default
- Bug: 744938 - PATCH: add option to build latex without timestamps
- Bug: 646436 I'd like a man output configuration option like HTML_TIMESTAMP for footers.

So maybe instead it makes sense to add an option to disable timestamps everywhere as suggested by a comment in bug 744938?

Kind Regards,
akira

As discussed in https://github.com/doxygen/doxygen/pull/734 , Doxygen has moved its issue tracking to 

   https://github.com/doxygen/doxygen/issues

All Doxygen tickets in GNOME Bugzilla have been migrated to Github. You can subscribe and participate in the new ticket in Github. You can find the corresponding Github ticket by searching for its Bugzilla ID (number) in Github.

Hence I am closing this GNOME Bugzilla ticket.
