I moved this to on-ips-dev, per Bart's suggestion.

Incremental build will not change the version of a package, but it
should be republished with a later timestamp, so you should still get
the newest version from a pkg install or image-update.

What failures are you seeing?

Please describe the behavior you're seeing.  The version assignment is
intentional, and I don't know of any problems arising therefrom.

An incremental build should republish all of your packages with newer
timestamps.  For the objects that have not changed, the content hash
will remain the same, so a subsequent pkg install will not update that
object, even when installing the newer package.

We intend for incremental builds to be useful.  If they are not, please
provide additional information so that we can help make them so.
