I understood you perfectly, but the svn revision number is not available to the freebsd-update build, nor to users who build from a git checkout.

What I'm after is inclusion of the svnversion(1) information to a binary that gets always built and installed as part of 'make buildworld/installworld' regardless of src.conf(5) settings so that it would be possible to identify the SVN version where the currently installed world comes from. Now that I think loader(8) is not a good candidate for that because of WITHOUT_BOOT. I was hoping that freebsd-version would be such binary but since it's only a shell script that extracts the information from various binaries it won't work unless those other binaries have that information included in them. -Kimmo ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"

No. It is not available in the most important use case for freebsd-version(1), i.e. freebsd-update builds.

In that case could the svnversion(1) information be included in the loader(8) binary? There's already a timestamp in it like this: # strings /boot/loader | grep -A2 "bootstrap loader" FreeBSD/x86 bootstrap loader Sat Nov 9 15:29:40 EET 2013 t...@freebsd10.rdnzl.info -Kimmo ___ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
