Well, in fairness, the asciidoc dependency was just added a day or so ago. |

But, I really don't think it's as big a problem as this long email |
| 16 |
thread warrants. We simply want to avoid asciidoc, and specifically |
| 17 |
it's dependencies, for catalyst snapshots. For the live ebuild, I |
| 18 |
don't see the dependencies as a problem. |

Can't we simply get the timestamp of the last commit to the git |
| 21 |
branch/tag that we're making an archive from and apply it to the |
| 22 |
generated content? Doing this would allow us to reproduce an identical |
| 23 |
tarball, and avoids a lot of other problems discussed in this thread. |
