You can actually hold the timestamp stable in system/build.prop too, by setting the BUILD_DATETIME environment variable to a stable value (it's the number of seconds since the unix epoch, normally generated with `date +%s`).
Since we've focused on keeping the individual files identical while accepting a handful of known differences, the actual image generation may not be as stable as we'd like it to be. That's just not as well tested, as we've been mostly comparing individual files when converting make-based functionality to our new build system. - Dan On Sun, Dec 23, 2018 at 8:18 AM Vitaliy Freidovich <vita...@1-family.net> wrote: > Hello, > > I would kindly disagree, as your environment might change from build to > build, and the resulting images could theoretically, and perhapps > practically, behave differently.
