Hi,
Whilst working on the Reproducible Builds effort [0], we noticed that
isync could not be built reproducibly.
This is because the manual pages included the current date:
├── ./usr/share/man/man1/mbsync.1.gz
│ │ @@ -1,14 +1,14 @@
│ │ .\" mbsync - mailbox synchronizer
│ │ .

│ │ +.TH mbsync 1 2026-04-15 "isync 1.5.1" "User Commands"
│ │ .
│ │ .SH NAME
Patch attached that sources this value from SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH.
