Nix uses a purely functional programming paradigm to define build results. Therefore, outputs must be completely deterministic based only on their inputs. Part of that includes having a deterministic Modified Date on the files, as basing that date on the current run date of the build would result in a different output every step. I can spend some time looking at making the date an input parameter, but it might not be so simple. > cf.
