Your analysis seems spot on, thank you. There already is code in libguestfs to pass --mtime=ΒΌ$SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH via TAR_OPTIONS but there seemed to be a missing spot. I chose to fill in the bits in libguestfs rather than adding special code for handling SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH to supermin. I hope it works as expected. :-) Cheers, -Hilko
