It looks like some words disappeared when I clicked the send button. Well I don't have any buttons in mutt so that might be the reason. I wasnted to say "passing the seed value" through some separate variable which is easy to override from somewhere else. e.g. export PRELINK_TIMESTAMP=`git log -1 --pretty=%ct ` in image-prelink.bbclass:prelink_image() is a bit difficult to override. > > On Wed, Apr 26, 2017 at 6:43 PM, Bystricky, Juro <juro.bystri...@intel.com> > wrote: > > > > > > But not for 2 different builds with slightly modified metadata (e.g. > > > just because top commit is different in whatever build repository you're > > > running from even when it doesn't have any effect in your image), right? > > > > > > > This may be addressed in the future.
