Subject: build: support `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` for build time-stamp
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=ca86f206c92704170a295b8dc7a41f6448835dde;p=thirdparty%2Fnftables.git

build: support `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` for build time-stamp

In order to support reproducible builds, set the build time-stamp to the value
of the environment variable, `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH`, if set, and fall back to
calling `date`, otherwise.
