Looking at this and the upstream commit¹, I’m thinking maybe we should
do the same in other Qt applications.  Any idea how we can identify
applications where it’s needed?

Thanks,
Ludo’.

This is a bit unfortunate.  It seems to me that the original intent of
the patch was to support SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH as the commit message
mentions that variable’s specification.  Pity that it is now a custom Qt
variable.

This probably should be used for all packages that generate resource
files, which I assume are most non-trivial applications.  I think it’s
fine to add it to all packages using qtbase.

We could just add it in to the gnu-build-system and set the variable in
all events. Or patch qt/qtbase to accept SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH in place of
their own variable.

Either way is fine with me.  Adding it to the ‘set-SOURCE-DATE-EPOCH’
phase in ‘core-updates’ would be reasonable IMO.

I asked them and they said [1]:

https://codereview.qt-project.org/#/c/243636/4/src/tools/rcc/rcc.cpp,unified contains the following patch:

...
228	228	         const QDateTime lastModified = m_fileInfo.lastModified();
	229	229	         quint64 lastmod = quint64(lastModified.isValid() ? lastModified.toMSecsSinceEpoch() : 0);
	230	230	         static const quint64 sourceDate = 1000 * qgetenv("QT_RCC_SOURCE_DATE_OVERRIDE").toULongLong(
);
	231	231	         if (sourceDate != 0)
	232	232	             lastmod = sourceDate;
		233	+        static const quint64 sourceDate2 = 1000 * qgetenv("SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH").toULongLong();
		234	+        if (sourceDate2 != 0)
		235	+            lastmod = sourceDate2;

Nice, so maybe we don’t need to change anything and just wait for the
next Qt version?
