[Pkg-javascript-devel] Bug#868321: node-marked-man: please make the output reproducible

[Chris Lamb]

Source: node-marked-man
Version: 0.2.0-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed
that node-marked-man generated reproducible output. In particular,
it uses the current timestamp which varies between builds.

Patch attached that uses SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH[1] if that is exported
in the environment.
