Subject: [PATCH] build: Make outputs of node-build-system reproducible.

From: Lars-Dominik Braun <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 9 Jun 2021 14:56:58 +0200

package.json records two hashes of package.tgz, which change for each
build, resulting in non-reproducible builds.

* guix/build/node-build-system.scm (repack): Add reproducibility options
to tar command.
