It was designed primarily by the maintainers of Debian Linux.<br /> <br /> The standard defines a &lt;code&gt;SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH&lt;/code&gt; environment variable, containing a timestamp (in [[Unix time]] form), which tools are expected to use instead of other sources of timestamps.<br /> <br /> == Links ==<br /> * [https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/ SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH specification]<br /> * [https://wiki.debian.org/ReproducibleBuilds/TimestampsProposal Debian ReproducibleBuilds/TimestampsProposal]<br /> <br /> {{DISPLAYTITLE:SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH}}<br /> [[Category:Date and time formats]]</div>
