++Subject: [PATCH] Honor the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH variable
++MIME-Version: 1.0
++Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
++Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
++
++Implement the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH specification[1] for reproducible
++builds. If SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is set, use it as timestamp instead of the
++current time.
