* Paul Spooren [proposed a patch](http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2021-May/088842.html) for the [BusyBox](https://www.busybox.net/) suite of UNIX utilities popular on embedded systems so that it uses [`SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH`](https://reproducible-builds.org/specs/source-date-epoch/) for build timestamps if available. Debian and Arch Linux currently set `KCONFIG_NOTIMESTAMP=1` in their build systems to achieve the same, but as [Eli Schwartz added to the same thread](http://lists.busybox.net/pipermail/busybox/2021-May/088844.html) said: "for overall consistency and coherency, the spec on [reproducible-builds.org]({{ "/" | relative_url }}) does recommend every program respect one variable, `$SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH`, rather than needing to specify a different variable for each program".
