Subject: Don't embed compile-time timestamps into generated files.
X-Git-Tag: v1.0.4~13
X-Git-Url: http://git.tuebingen.mpg.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;ds=sidebyside;h=bb3a974325f5967c38da61ff61b5f7c732fcfa59;p=lopsub.git

Don't embed compile-time timestamps into generated files.

Currently the build is not reproducible because make(1) runs
date(1) to provide the month and the year for the man page. Fix
this by honouring SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH as described in

	https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/
