New comment by ericonr on void-packages repository https://github.com/void-linux/void-packages/issues/25343#issuecomment-703307116 Comment: Hard coding is the way to go, unfortunately. I'm not sure it's entirely necessary, since we would be using tagged releases, which should be directly linkable to a specific commit. The `-X main.date=$DATE` part is bad, though, and upstream should be told not to require it (or even suggest it, for that matter). It hurts reproducible builds for no gain.
