[PATCH v4 0/1] Fix for reproducible build issue v4

[venkata.pyla]

From: venkata pyla <venkata.pyla@toshiba-tsip.com>

Hi,

Chages from v3:
 - bbwarn only file type for modified timestamps and exlcude others like directories, links and char files as they are obvious changes for modified file timestamps.

venkata pyla (1):

[PATCH v4 1/1] image.bbclass: fix non-reproducible file time-stamps inside rootfs

[venkata.pyla]

From: venkata pyla <venkata.pyla@toshiba-tsip.com>

As part of reproducible-build work, the rootfs images generated on same
source should be identical between two builds.

In this commit it tries to solve one of the non-reproducible problem
i.e. the rootfs file time-stamps generated during build time are not
reproducible, it uses one of the solution provided in the debian
live-build image project (refer [1]), it fixes by finding all the
files/folders that are gernerated newly and set the time-stamp provided
by `SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH` environment variable.
