Hi,
Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed
that liblopsub generates output that is not reproducible. The
lopsubgen utility does not respect SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH [1] and thus
packages such as src:tfortune are rendered unreproducible as they
then encode the build date and time.
Patch attached.
