Make sure SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is in the past,
otherwise, builds before noon will not have normalized mtimes
from %clamp_mtime_to_source_date_epoch
This also helps other programs like tar --clamp-mtime
Tested successfully on openSUSE.
To reproduce, create a changelog entry with only a date
and build it before 12:00 UTC
using macros
rpm -qpvlshowed file mtime values to not be normalizedand therefore build results were not bit-identical.
Edit: would be nice to avoid the modulo heuristic and find out if there was a time in the changelog or just a date. How?
