[Reproducible-commits] [debhelper] 09/10: Define SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH when setting build flags

[Jérémy Bobbio]

This is an automated email from the git hooks/post-receive script.

lunar pushed a commit to branch pu/reproducible_builds
in repository debhelper.

commit c024de550f28aab026fa7bda95f20aa93019a07d
Author: Dhole <dhole at openmailbox.org>
Date:   Thu Jul 2 17:16:13 2015 +0200

    Define SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH when setting build flags
    
    When SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is defined software which needs a timestamp can use it
    as a reference date instead of the current date and time. For more details,
    see: https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds/TimestampsProposal
    
    The variable is set alongside other build flags, and its value is the time
    of the latest entry in `debian/changelog`.
    
    Closes: #791823
