[bug#70169] [PATCH v3 00/13] Reproducible `make dist' tarball in defiance of Autotools and Gettext

[Janneke Nieuwenhuizen <janneke@gnu.org>]

V3 brings

  * Use `1' as fallback for SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH,
  * Do not remove %%CreationDate when creating EPS files.  Imagemagick's
    convert respects SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH (as long as it's not set to `0'!), and
  * Graphviz' dot does currently not insert it; add a check for that,
  * Update advice when Autotools's version is out of date to say
    ./bootstrap && ./configure ..., and
  * Use "dejavu sans" in DOT sources (already sent as v2 13/12).

I have reset wip-tarball and uploaded
<https://lilypond.org/janneke/guix/guix-1.3.0.57741-0e3053.tar.gz>.

Note that you'll need an environment with something like:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
guix shell -CP -m manifest.scm fontconfig graphviz imagemagick texlive-bin
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

on my machine, it now also reproduces outside a container, in:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
guix shell -m manifest.scm fontconfig graphviz imagemagick texlive-bin
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---
