Line 134 in c3f5c93

mkdir -p /out && tar czvf "/out/buildkit-$(cat /tmp/.version).$(echo $TARGETPLATFORM | sed 's/\//-/g').tar.gz" --mtime='2015-10-21 00:00Z' --sort=name --transform 's/^./bin/' .

The binary artifacts are created with --mtime='2015-10-21 00:00Z'

Is this intentionally set to a deterministic string for reproducibility? If so, can we rather use 1970-01-01?

(Not all users are aware of that BuildKit didn't exist in 2015, and they may think that they are using very old version of BuildKit from 2015.)
