Why are all gems now built in 1980?
Bundler v2.7.0 had a change that went largely unnoticed: reproducible builds. See https://reproducible-builds.org/
Previously biulds were only reproducible if you set SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH in the env.
Gems that relied on reproducible builds, like stone_checksums, wouldn’t work without it and enforced it.
But in bundler v2.7+ SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is not required, so I’ve released stone_checksums v1.0.2, with support for both types.
And now all ruby gems are built in the same second in 1980.
