Hello, I've compiled CURRENT from svn and this gave me as 'uname -a' output:
FreeBSD c720-r342378 13.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT r342378 GENERIC amd64 Now I've had do modify a source file (to nail down some problem) and the revision number went away from the output; it now says: FreeBSD c720-r342378 13.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 13.0-CURRENT GENERIC amd64 Why is this? I've read in UPDATING that: ... 20180913: Reproducible build mode is now on by default, in preparation for FreeBSD 12.0. This eliminates build metadata such as the user, host, and time from the kernel (and uname), unless the working tree corresponds to a modified checkout from a version control system. The previous behavior can be obtained by setting the /etc/src.conf knob WITHOUT_REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD. ... But this does not explain why now the SVN revision number went away. matthias -- Matthias Apitz, ✉ g...@unixarea.de, http://www.unixarea.de/ +49-176-38902045 Public GnuPG key: http://www.unixarea.de/key.pub October, 7 -- The GDR was different: Peace instead of Bundeswehr and wars, Druschba instead of Nazis, to live instead of to survive.
