I'm in the process of fixing: 6518266 remove uses of __DATE__ / __TIME__ from perl
so to make life easier for wsdiff and patch creators. Perl accesses the compilers __DATE__ and __TIME__ and puts that into the library libperl.so. So every compile of perl yields a new __DATE__ and __TIME__ giving possible false positives from wsdiff. perlbug (a perl script) also contains a date inside it. I was thinking of using a fixed point in time, say solaris fcs, to just set these variables but these times need to be updated when real changes happens, or not. I guess wsdiff can do its job of detecting real binary or script changes and act accordingly. Could use some ideas and feedback here. This build date of perl shows up with perl -V: $ perl -V | grep Compiled Compiled at May 28 2011 20:30:29 thanks, craig _______________________________________________ userland-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/userland-discuss
