From: James McCoy Date: Thu, 28 Jan 2016 10:55:11 -0500 Subject: Support defining compilation date in $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH There is an ongoing effort[0] to make FOSS software reproducibly buildable. In order to make Vim build reproducibly, it is necessary to allow defining the date/time that is part of VIM_VERSION_LONG as part of the build process. This commit enables that by adding support for the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH spec[1]. When the $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable is defined, it will be used to populate the BUILD_DATE preprocessor define. If BUILD_DATE is not defined, the existing behavior of relying on the preprocessor's __DATE__/__TIME__ symbols will be used.
