Bug#876410: libgl2ps1: please include support for SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH

[Mike Miller]

Package: libgl2ps1
Version: 1.3.9-4
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream

Dear Maintainer,

All files produced by gl2ps include the current time in the local time
zone. It would be helpful if this could be overridden so that files
produced using gl2ps could be deterministic.

Please consider adding support for the standard SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
environment variable. If present, it should override the use of the
current time, and should also influence times to be written in a format
that does not depend on the local time zone or locale.

Thanks for your work on gl2ps.
