| Subject: | build results differ from timestamp |
While working on reproducible builds for openSUSE, I found that our perl-Term-Size-Perl package differed for every build.
This can be fixed with the below patch, but it might be even better to just drop that line.
See https://reproducible-builds.org/ for why this is good
and https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/
for the definition of this variable.
