Subject: [SailfishDevel] Reproducible builds | RPM version

Hi,

I would like to allow reproducible builds for my apps.
RPM 4.14.0 adds support for SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH, which allows to set the
"Build Date" contained inside the .rpm thus making the rpm non-reproducible.

(see https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/)

However,

"[mersdk at SailfishSDK /]$ rpm --version
RPM version 4.9.1.2"

which is quite old - from 2011! [2]


Can we expect a newer rpm version in a reasonable time frame for the
Sailfish SDK?

Thanks,
takimata
