<fossy>gotta say, creating reproducibile tars was a bit painful
<fossy>reproducible*
<fossy>timestamps always mess things up :\
<fossy>the unfortunateish consequence of this is now all files will have unix time 0, but i think we can live with that
<Hagfish>are you not using a version of tar that supports setting the source epoch date?
<Hagfish>actually i'm not sure what would be a good non-0 date to pick
<Hagfish>well, there is this classic precedent: https://github.com/npm/npm/pull/20027
<fossy>Hagfish: no, i have to touch all files manually previously
<bauen1>Hagfish: all tars support SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, at least if you set it to now() ;)

<Hagfish>oriansj: good point. i was wondering if these images are built from a recipe that isn't committed to a repo, but that would be... unusual
