[OE-core] [PATCH 0/4] Reproducible binaries

This may be addressed in the future. Presently, the goal is to ensure that if we
use identical repositories we get identical results. This should not depend
on the time/date, build folder or even Linux distro. By identical results
I mean binary identical comparison of the resulting "deploy" folders.
(images, packages, licenses). So for example, there should be no binary differences 
between the two images of core-image-minimal.rootfs.ext4.
In your case (slightly different repos), the difference would be presented 
as different time stamps for /etc/version and /etc/timestamp only.

Eventually it will. There is still ways to go and this patch set is just the first
kick at the can.
