File WindowMaker-reproducible.patch of Package WindowMaker

could be upstreamed, but upstream seems dead
with lists.windowmaker.org down and the last git commit is from March

commit e9ab99877b71669a75c1c1a43c1fb24cb32c1bdf
Author: Bernhard M. Wiedemann <bwiedemann@suse.de>
Date:   Tue Dec 19 21:13:21 2017 +0100

texi2txt: Use ChangeLog date instead of build date

in order to make builds reproducible.
    See https://reproducible-builds.org/ for why this is good.

This date call works with GNU date and BSD date.

Without this patch, /usr/share/doc/packages/WindowMaker/README.i18n
    will differ in the line
      Published by The Window Maker team on ...

---
    An alternative solution could use the $SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH variable
    defined in https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/
