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 if you really want to respect their requirements, 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.
