These are actually all zip files.  The reason for the non-reproducibility is
that something copies the contents from the source to a mktemp'ed directory
without preserving timestamps.  Then this directory is zipped up.

So the zip file now contains non-constant timestamps.

I think it's somewhere in postprocess, but I can't find it so far.

I found packimages.pl but I'm not sure whether this does the copying, too.

Without *clearing* timestamps?

Perhaps we could add a phase that unpacks-resets-repacks these?  Or,
alternately, something like the Debian/R-B tool (I forgot the name) that
does that automatically.

Thanks,

I think it's something like this:

src/foo.png exists with the source timestamp (which is constant for this version).

Something does mktemp, then copies the src/foo.png there without preserving timestamps.

Then this temp directory is zipped up.  Now it has the wrong (different, more current)
timestamps in it.

As a fallback - sure.

For now I've been trying to find the place in libreoffice where
it does the copying and patch that and upstream it.

I tried Zip.mk but seems that's not actually used (?).

And indeed, all the template files as well as *.dat files are actually
zip files with embedded timestamps.

Finally fixed in commit 0d5578c12beec105f5ec113cc50deab703270a82:

 ~$ guix environment --pure guix -- ./pre-inst-env guix build \

Closing, though it remains to be seen whether it works across file 
systems.

Kind regards,
