@babel/core and babel-preset-current-node-syntax contain files with date older than 1980

[BenoitAverty]

Bug Report

Current behavior

Babel contain some very old files.

To reproduce, install @babel/core and babel-preset-current-node-syntax on a fresh empty npm project, then run

find ! -newermt 1981-01-01

This gives the list of files older than January the first, 1980.

This is a problem when zipping the files because ZIP does not support timestamps that old. It happens, for example, when deploying an app to AWS

This seems to change based on the version of babel, for example, the latest babel-core has files from 1984 wheras the version used by @mdx-js has files from 1970.

Lastest babel-preset-current-node-syntax has some from before 1980.

Possible Solution

As a workaround, uses can run
find ! -newermt 1981-01-01 -exec touch {} \
to fix the date. But it requires having diagnosed the problem.

Which version of those packages are you using? It should have already be fixed in both of them 🤔

[BenoitAverty]

Hey !
Here is the dependencies in the package.json :

"dependencies": {
    "@babel/core": "^7.12.10",
    "babel-preset-current-node-syntax": "^1.0.0"
  }

freshly installed with npm install.

This could be a regression caused by #12453
