[arch-dev-public] [RFC] Remove svn propset id's

[Jelle van der Waa]

Most of our PKGBUILDs svn propset's break reproducible builds and the
pkgbuild_sha256sum in the BUILDINFO file. When building a package before
commiting the PKGBUILD the propset $Id will differ since the $Id is set on
commit.

This has a few implications, pkgbuild_sha256sum is useless and we can't
reproduce packages due to the BUILDINFO not matching. Also the reproduce tool
uses ASP to retrieve the PKGBUILD and therefore can't verify that it got the
correct PKGBUILD (it relies on pkgbuild_sha256sum).

To resolve this issue we could simply remove the propset id's, since for
me, although not sure about others they don't seem particulary useful.

The proof that the sha256sums's don't match:

$ extra-x86_64-build
$ grep sha256 .BUILDINFO
pkgbuild_sha256sum = 8748d60d2c782f477cb7e692a3dad30be90491cdc13fe8951340da4c0bc7f19e
$ $repopkg

$ sha256sum PKGBUILD
