           Summary: hylafax-5.5.9 does not build reproducibly
           Product: HylaFAX
           Version: latest
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: source-build
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]


While working on the reproducible builds effort, I found that
when building the hylafax+ package for openSUSE Linux, there were slight
differences between each build:

This can be fixed by such a trivial patch:
--- hylafax-5.5.9.orig/configure
+++ hylafax-5.5.9/configure
