Hi!

You recently added a patch to openarena which replaces __DATE__ with a
deterministic value (date from debian/changelog), which is awesome! :)

Unfortunately the build isn't yet completely reproducible [1].
Telling date to use a constant timezone (e.g. UTC) is also necessary, or
the date could vary depending on "where" it is build.
And the result of the %b format value is also locale dependent, so fixing
the locale is also required.

You can find these changes in the attached patch.

And btw ioquake3 has the exactly same problem. You might want to apply
the patch there too.

Thanks!

Regards,
 Reiner
