See:

  • Reproducible builds docker-library/official-images#16044

  • SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is added. The value is consumed by the build scripts to make the binary reproducible.

  • For Alpine, virtual package versions are pinned to "0" to eliminate the timestamp-based version numbers that appear in /etc/apk/world and /lib/apk/db/installed

The rest of this is unobjectionable, but I'm not in favor of ARG.

Sorry, could you explain the problem?
Isn't it quite common to specify the epoch for repro builds?

The SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH has been already used in the meta scripts, no?

@tianon Please let me know how I can make progress on this PR (and other PRs tracked in docker-library/official-images#16044) 🙏

Do you prefer the SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH to be set to the timestamp of bash.tar.gz? ( As in golang)

I can update this PR like that if you like, but I think having the "global" ARG SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH here still makes sense, as SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH also applies to apk commands, etc.

@tianon @tonistiigi

Updated the PR to take SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH from the source material (as in golang):

SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH="$(find /usr/src/bash -type f -exec stat -c '%Y' {} + | sort -nr | head -n1)"

Let me know if this solves your concern.

Completely removed ARG SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH

See docker-library/official-images issue 16044

- `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` is added.
  The value is consumed by the build scripts to make the binary reproducible.

- For Alpine, virtual package versions are pinned to "0" to eliminate
  the timestamp-based version numbers that appear in `/etc/apk/world` and `/lib/apk/db/installed`

> The following topics are NOT covered by this commit:

> - To reproduce file timestamps in layers, BuildKit has to be executed with
>   `--output type=<TYPE>,rewrite-timestamp=true`.
>   Needs BuildKit v0.13 or later.
>
> - To reproduce the base image by the hash, reproducers may:
>   - modify the `FROM` instruction in Dockerfile manually
>   - or, use the `CONVERT` action of source policies to replace the base image.
