+Subject: [PATCH] Honor the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH variable
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+Implement the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH specification[1] for reproducible
+builds. If SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is set, use it as timestamp instead of the
+current time.
