Over the weekend, I did a review of this as well:
a) doxygen didnt make it easier (fixed in sr#46588) b) gtk-doc injects its current version into XML and HTML files (bnc#635376) c) massive usage of __DATE__ __TIME__ proposed alternatives in #bnc635351
d) still images, pdf's and other documents, either generated by htmldoc, dvips (etc..) set the current creation/modification date on generated docs to the build time instead of the source file's.
Thanks. Looking at the updates my test machine running FACTORY has seen over the last ten days, this is really a lot. Hopefully those initiatives of yours will help cut this down!

Now somebody come and say this does _not_ make Factory unusable as a way to develop and test openSUSE.
Richard. Do what I do, and run most of the system on factory-snapshot, and update only selected packages when bugs you care about are fixed (or when someone asks you to test a certain package).
No excuses.
Hm, what works for me is keeping my system on openSUSE 11.1 and installing factory versions of the packages I develop or care about. Of course with a more usable Factory the idea would be to improve test coverage also for packages you do _not_ specially care about (not to mention that eventually more people will be able to use Factory, or making an automated Factory-testing, similar to Debian testing possible ...).
