Personally, I think the old date format is user friendly more that the ISO. Could you change it back or make as variable for custom. |
in order to make builds reproducible. See https://reproducible-builds.org/ for why this is good and https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/ for the definition of this variable. It prioritizes the variable over mtime because openSUSE's `tallow` package touched a .md file with a patch.

Updated it. That makes the diff a lot smaller, too. I think the worry was that %B would differ from locales, but that might not actually be the case with ruby. |

Allow to override build date
in order to make builds reproducible.
See https://reproducible-builds.org/ for why this is good
and https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/
for the definition of this variable.
Also use ISO-8601 date format to be understood everywhere.
And use UTC to be independent of timezones.
