Hi!

Thanks for applying the reproducibility patch in one of the last uploads! :)

We found another small issue about reproducibility of whl files (see [1]).
The timestamps still vary depending on the configured timezone.
The fix would be to store them in UTC like in the attached patch.

Regards,
 Reiner
