Setting the image creation timestamp in the image metadata to a constant date can cause problems with self-hosted container registries, that need to e.g. prune old images. This timestamp is also useful for debugging. However, it is almost never useful to set the filesystem timestamp to a constant value. Doing so not only causes the image to possibly no longer be reproducible, but also removes any possibility of deduplicating layers with other images, causing unnecessary storage space usage. Therefore, this commit introduces "mtime", a new parameter to streamLayeredImage, which allows specifying the filesystem timestamps separately from "created". For backwards compatibility, "mtime" defaults to the value of "created". |
