[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] support reproducible automatic rebuilds (PR #2880)

[Neal Gompa (ニール・ゴンパ)]

This seems to defeat the point. The point of this is to clamp the times to the date stamp in the changelog. If you're doing automatic rebuilds, you should not use that feature, full stop.

You've effectively created a situation where your builds are not reproducible outside of your build system with the build system circumstances that created it.

>From my reading of this, this is a very bad idea, and I'm not sure we should have this. I also think that if this is something openSUSE is going to ship, it should stop saying it's doing reproducible builds.

(Yes, I'm aware of all the caveats of reproducible builds, please don't add more of them!)
