I added the "fdpsh" command "iso2date YYYY-MM-DD" or "iso2date today"
to make this easier.

All dates in the "rpm-info.xml" file should be in the ctime(3)
format, instead of some as ISO and others not.  We just don't really
care about the revision date on the doc.  Yet.

Well, I'm testing the RPM build structure on a second document ;-)
I'm not really sure how this "rpm-info.xml" was produced, though.

As you say, no need to worry.  In fact, I only worry about those
things which I control: therefore, I never worry about anything.
