Hi all -
For quite some time we've carried a patch to obscure the build host in /proc/version so that it's always the same. It will always show up as (geeko@buildhost), even if it's not actually built for distribution.
I looked at Ubuntu and Fedora, and they don't bother to obscure it. Is there any reason we should carry this patch indefinitely if nobody else bothers?
It would ensure that rebuilds with no changes are identical to the last rebuild, as who knows what machine the kernel package would be built on, so that seems like a good reason to keep it to me.
But that's just my opinion :)
That doesn't actually happen, though, since the timestamp is also updated during rebuild. - -Jeff - -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.17 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with SUSE - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk3Ei0QACgkQLPWxlyuTD7LvbwCeNjyAK8UQimaG0JJK36O2ylv/ e2gAn0RHHeJjIycgt1vKtLBWWYAyuT8m =cXhy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
