Subject: [oe-core][PATCH] reproducible: fix git SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH randomness
Date: Thu, 12 Feb 2026 18:42:53 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260213004252.3371379-2-rs@ti.com> (raw)
From: Randolph Sapp <rs@ti.com>
Anything that defines multiple git sources should have the largest value
taken when calculating the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH for a package.
The previous iteration actually introduced some degree of randomness, as
it would stop on the first git repository reported by os.walk, which
does not assure any specific ordering by default.
