--- Comment #3 from David Cook <[email protected]> ---
This is an interesting one...

Working as a vendor, I'm not going to want every software release to do a
database update. Sometimes a software release might include just a 1 character
change after all. Ideally, an update of a live system should be run as fast as
possible to minimize any downtime.

But...  perhaps C4::Installer::update() or 4::Installer::SetVersion() could
record a date of update in the database when it has a database update to do
anyway.

Another idea is rather than an install/upgrade date/timestamp we could do a
"build" date/timestamp. With this idea, every software update would be
captured, so long as it was made via the full software deployment process and
not as a hot fix. 

That's something I've been pondering for a while. As part of the Koha build, a
file could be generated that includes a timestamp and possibly other build
information. 

(The trick here is that it would be a system-wide file and not an
instance-specific file, so we'd either need to add a line to koha-conf.xml
which isn't great from an upgrade point of view, or we'd need to come up with
an alternative idea for how to find the file. For example, we could use a Perl
module to find the /usr/share/koha/lib and then work backwards from there. This
is a method used by some web frameworks, so there is some precedent there.)
