Take texlive-cm for example. METAFONT writes a timestamp into every generated font file (e.g. /gnu/store/lkmiyfzi1bq571yn4gypbcs5vn4fpma7-texlive-cm-51265/share/texmf-dist/fonts/tfm/public/cm/cmvtt10.600gf). It also generates log files that contain timestamped lines like these: │ │ │ │ │ │ ├── +++ /gnu/store/lkmiyfzi1bq571yn4gypbcs5vn4fpma7-texlive-cm-51265/share/texmf-dist/fonts/tfm/public/cm/cmu10.log │ │ │ │ │ │ │ @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ │ │ │ │ │ │ │ -This is METAFONT, Version 2.7182818 (TeX Live 2019) (preloaded base=mf 2021.4.16) 16 SEP 2021 11:21 │ │ │ │ │ │ │ +This is METAFONT, Version 2.7182818 (TeX Live 2019) (preloaded base=mf 2021.4.16) 16 APR 2021 23:30 The texlive-union executes processes that also lead to irreproducible files.
