Bug #456: coreboot 4.19 tarballs have bad timestamps
https://ticket.coreboot.org/issues/456#change-1419

* Author: Thierry Laurion
* Status: Feedback
* Priority: High
* Category: infrastructure
* Target version: 4.19
* Start date: 2023-02-08
* Affected versions: 4.19, master
* Needs backport to: 4.19, master
* Related links: Thank you for the fixes. Could you document the old and new 
hashes somewhere?
----------------------------------------
As reported on #coreboot channel, coreboot 4.19 tarballs contain invalid 
timestamps (year 1901) for all contained files.

Reproducility of issue:
wget https://www.coreboot.org/releases/coreboot-4.19.tar.xz
user@heads-tests:/tmp/test$ ls -al coreboot-4.19.tar.xz 
-rw-r--r-- 1 user user 56908588 Jan 26 21:46 coreboot-4.19.tar.xz
user@heads-tests:/tmp/test$ tar Jxvf coreboot-4.19.tar.xz 
coreboot-4.19/
coreboot-4.19/.checkpatch.conf
tar: coreboot-4.19/.checkpatch.conf: implausibly old time stamp 
-9223372036854775808
coreboot-4.19/.clang-format
tar: coreboot-4.19/.clang-format: implausibly old time stamp 
-9223372036854775808
coreboot-4.19/.coreboot-version
tar: coreboot-4.19/.coreboot-version: implausibly old time stamp 
-9223372036854775808
coreboot-4.19/.crossgcc-version
tar: coreboot-4.19/.crossgcc-version: implausibly old time stamp 
-9223372036854775808
coreboot-4.19/.editorconfig
tar: coreboot-4.19/.editorconfig: implausibly old time stamp 
-9223372036854775808

Cause:
@icon investigated and said "d05ea79e40c4 util/release/build-release: Fix style 
issues
at least that change to the tstamp variable looks very suspicious"

flx suggested to recreate the archive: "I think 4.19-2 would be better. There 
are no changes to coreboot or anything. It also doesn't need a new git tag"
