[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] set SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH from changelog (#141)

[Panu Matilainen]

Um, changelog dates are a literal part of the spec just like, say, package version or a part of %build scriptlet is, and considered to be UTC so the values are not supposed to change arbitrarily between builds. The ability to override them arbitrarily makes things *less* reproducable.

If you're seeing different values entered into the changelog across different builds then maybe there's a bug or two, but in that case we should fix the bug(s) instead.

So in other words, I'm not convinced.
