Allow to override man-page date #5

Closed bmwiedemann closed 6 years ago

bmwiedemann commented 6 years ago

Allow to override man-page date to make package build reproducible.

See https://reproducible-builds.org/ for why this is good and https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/ for the definition of this variable.

btw: there is some upstream place where help2man is maintained and that might have more fixes in addition to this.
