Hi,

While working on the "reproducible builds" effort [1], we have noticed
that xfonts-nexus could not be built reproducibly.

The attached patch removes timestamps from the build system. Once
applied, xfonts-nexus can be built reproducibly in our current
experimental
framework.

Thank you for reporting the bug, which will now be closed.  If you
