commit cd85016230120da0db71c98e375b37780242ef56
Author: Bernhard M. Wiedemann <bwiedemann@suse.de>
Date:   Mon Jun 26 08:11:03 2023 +0200

    Allow to override build date with SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
    
    in order to make builds reproducible.
    See https://reproducible-builds.org/ for why this is good
    and https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/
    for the definition of this variable.
    
    Also consistently use ISO 8601 date format to be understood everywhere.
    
    Also use UTC to be independent of timezone.
    
    This patch was done while working on reproducible builds for openSUSE.
