Hi,
Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that
argparse-manpage generates nondeterministic manpages.
This appears to be a regression from version 4.5 which correctly used
utcfromtimestamp to parse SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH to a Python datetime
object. However, 4.7 uses fromtimestamp (cf. "utcfromtimestamp"), so
the generated manual pages differ depending on the surrounding timezone.
This is affecting at least the src:psutils and src:virtme-ng packages,
but there are likely more.
Patch attached.
