Patch is https://gist.github.com/lamby/96e5e28a808229c452b36188bfe867d1/raw but there is
more than that, alas.
.
Apache POI removed the date from the source-file in version 5.2.4, see https://github.com/apache/poi/commit/23caf67c58fb5e6ecbe50eb1a24b02ef40585629 which should fix this
.
Additional work is underway to make Apache POI itself produce reproducible output, which may be needed by downstream projects
to produce reproducible files.
