What it sounds like you really want is the CVS revision ID for every file in the snapshot so that when someone reports a bug that you think you might have fixed already, you can just point them to the correct revision.

Well, the builds on jp are always generated from source of 15:00 UTC of that date. The se machine probably uses a fixed time as well, but I can't look it up at the moment (hardware troubles at the se site). -- ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | [EMAIL PROTECTED] (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org pgp0KQg38mtlv.pgp Description: PGP signature

Both checkout code as of 00:00:00 GMT on the date the snapshot is built for. Sooner or later I may change .se to check it out as of 12:00:00 GMT instead, to provide some variety...
