#4147: Reproducible build date
-------------------------+---------------------------
 Reporter:  myon         |      Owner:  pramsey
     Type:  enhancement  |     Status:  new
 Priority:  medium       |  Milestone:  PostGIS 2.5.0
Component:  postgis      |    Version:  trunk
 Keywords:               |
-------------------------+---------------------------
 Debian aims at providing binary packages that can be reproduced bit-
 identical when rebuilt. A common source of variation are embedded "built
 at" strings, and indeed PostGIS has this problem. To address this problem
 the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH specification was created: https://reproducible-
 builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/

 The attached patch makes configure.ac honor the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH variable
 when present in the build environment.
