Reproducible builds: Clamp build mtimes to $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH

Important.png
This is a proposed Change for Fedora Linux.
This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee.

Summary

The %clamp_mtime_to_source_date_epoch RPM macro will be set to 1. When an RPM package is built, mtimes of packaged files will be clamped to $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH which is already set to the date of the latest %changelog entry. As a result, more RPM packages will be reproducible: The actual modification time of files that are e.g. modified in the %prep section will not be reflected in the RPM package.
