Would you mind adding some notes to the README > just to make as explicit as possible that someone who may be > interested can generate a build from a specific date using > SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH env var (and an example on how to do so)? Sure, please just append the following: To build libosinfo reproduciblity, you should export the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH[0] environment variable to the build system. For example: $ export SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH="$(date +%s)" $ ./configure [..] $ make […] [0] https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/ It seems more optimal to link to the specification rather than to duplicate a lot of the info (eg. should be in integer, etc. etc.) in every projects' documentation.
