+Subject: [PATCH] Reproducible U-Boot build support, using SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH
+
+In order to achieve reproducible builds in U-Boot, timestamps that are defined
+at build-time have to be somewhat eliminated. The SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment
+variable allows setting a fixed value for those timestamps.
+
+Simply by setting SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH to a fixed value, a number of targets can be
+built reproducibly. This is the case for e.g. sunxi devices.
+
+However, some other devices might need some more tweaks, especially regarding
+the image generation tools.

++Reproducible builds
++-------------------
++
++In order to achieve reproducible builds, timestamps used in the U-Boot build
++process have to be set to a fixed value.
++
++This is done using the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH environment variable.
++SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is to be set on the build host's shell, not as a configuration
++option for U-Boot or an environment variable in U-Boot.
++
++SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH should be set to a number of seconds since the epoch, in UTC.
++
