For example to the value of SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH. [Test Case] * Boot without network NTP or hwclock * Observe that the epoch is the same as the time when NEWS entry in the systemd source code was last touched. * Boot newer update of systemd, observe that the time epoch is at least 2020 [Regression Potential] * Bad epoch, may result in unable to perform TLS connections, validated GPG signatures, and snapd assertions. Changing epoch to be more recent is desired. Some machines may rely on the fact that "bionic" without hwclock always comes up in year 2018. But in practice that is incorrect thing to do. [Other Info] * By default option('time-epoch', type : 'integer', value : '-1', description : 'time epoch for time clients') in systemd is set to the modification time of the NEW entry time_epoch = run_command(stat, '-c', '%Y', NEWS).stdout().to_int() If available, it should be set to SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH=1585051767 value to be compliant with the https://reproducible- builds.org/docs/timestamps/ specification.
