From 402fc5a6000bf0ec12f05d4aa2b3e250ec85a60a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Oberhollenzer Date: Fri, 2 Aug 2019 11:41:36 +0200 Subject: Implement support for SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable reproducible-builds.org suggests the use of an environment variable as a source for time stamps: https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/ This commit adds support for setting the default mtime from the variable, if it is set and only defaulting to 0 if not. The timestamp given by the command line switch takes precedence.
