Intellij product download tar file timestamps
I am seeing the same wonky timestamp on all of the directories/files in both the Ultimate and Community tar.gz downloads:
- Version: 2023.1
- Build: 231.8109.175
- 27 March 2023
$ tar tzvf ideaIC-2023.1.tar.gz | head -10

Seeing this both on Ubuntu 20.04.6, and on an older Ubuntu 18.04.6

Thanks for the info.
We use a fixed date (1970-01-20) in it in order to make our build/installer reproducible, so if we build these from our source code several times later, it will output the same build file with the same date, which is better for security, build infrastructure.
But I agree this might be odd because these timestamps are not correct and reflect the real build time.
We have an internal issue for tracking this issue and we will consider improve the timestamp info here.
