Subject: fakedate: new package
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a268768c71ce1189f7a124dbe6869900a3ee3554;p=buildroot.git

fakedate: new package

`date' is widely used by packages to include build information in their
binaries. Unfortunately, this is incompatible with BR2_REPRODUCIBLE.

Instead of having to identify all `date' invocations in the different
packages, this commit adds a small tool that allows to always return
the same date.

This work was sponsored by `BA Robotic Systems'.
