I know a number of developers want to keep the metadata for their own builds at least. We have essentially three different levels of metadata that are arguably sensible: 1. Major/minor version, release/branch name, architecture 2. Version control information 3. Path, user, date, time, host And three kinds of working trees: 1. Non-versioned with/without modifications (e.g., a src tarball) 2. git/svn/other checkout, without modifications 3. git/svn/other checkout, with modifications What I'm proposing for 12.0 gives us 1+2 always (regardless of the state of the tree). I think there's more discussion to be had on the mapping between the tree type/state and amount of metadata to include. If we come to a consensus I'll handle it, but don't want to hold up a change destined for 12.0 with a broader discussion. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
