While fixing build failures in antioxidant, I noticed that rust-vergen is a potential source of irreproducibility -- the README.md contains the following: > ## Documentation > [Documentation](https://docs.rs/vergen) > > ## Generate Compile Time Information > `vergen`, when used in conjunction with cargo [build scripts], will > generate environment variables to use with the `env!` macro. Below > is a list of the supported variables. > > Key                       | Sample Value > --------------------------|---------------------------------------- > VERGEN_BUILD_TIMESTAMP    |2018-08-09T15:15:57.282334589+00:000 > VERGEN_BUILD_DATE         |2018-08-09 > VERGEN_SHA |75b390dc6c05a6a4aa2791cc7b3934591803bc22 > VERGEN_SHA_SHORT          |75b390d > VERGEN_COMMIT_DATE        |2018-08-08 > VERGEN_TARGET_TRIPLE      |x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu > VERGEN_SEMVER             |v3.0.0 > VERGEN_SEMVER_LIGHTWEIGHT |v3.0.0 I'll try patching out the timestamps with 1970-...
