The timezone affects the date embedded in an .xml file:

  
https://tests.reproducible-builds.org/debian/rb-pkg/bookworm/amd64/diffoscope-results/flightgear.html

  ./usr/share/metainfo/org.flightgear.FlightGear.metainfo.xml

  <release·version="2020.3.6"·date="2021-02-13"·/>
vs.
  <release·version="2020.3.6"·date="2021-02-14"·/>

The attached patch fixes this by setting the timestamp to use the UTC
timezone.


With this patch applied, flightgear should become reproducible on
tests.reproducible-builds.org.


Thanks for maintaining flightgear!

Subject: [PATCH] package/CMakeLists.txt: Use UTC timestamp.

While cmake respects SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, the timezone may still change
the date stamp used.
