Hi Werner,

Would it be okay to direct you to its canonical specification rather
than repeat it here? ie.
<https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/>

Ah, okay. Retro, but makes sense.

>   081c902 doc: Build man pages with the same date as the info files.
>   75eb071 yat2m: New option --date.

Great :)
