Bug #13627: created.rid prevents reproducible builds

• Status: Closed
• Assignee: hsbt (Hiroshi SHIBATA)
• Target version: -
• ruby -v: ruby 2.2.6p396 (2016-11-15 revision 56800) [x86_64-linux-gnu]
• Backport: 2.3: DONTNEED, 2.4: DONTNEED, 2.5: DONTNEED

[bmwiedemann (Bernhard M. Wiedemann)]

rdoc.rb inserts the current time into created.rid
so the file differs across each build,
making it hard for distributions like openSUSE's
to create bit-identical binary packages when those are using rdoc.

See https://reproducible-builds.org/ why that matters

Thanks for the patch, it fixes the issue for me (on FreeBSD).
