Dear Maintainer,
I have a system that was originally installed as Etch/amd64 via debootstrap
from a running Gentoo system. Since then, I've used LVM to migrate the
filesystems to new drives, and done some filesystem convertions (e.g.
reiserfs/ext3 to btrfs), and enabled multiarch, among other things.
Here's what installation-birthday thinks about my system:
% installation-birthday --verbosity 2
D: Determining block device for /
D: Checking mtime of /var/log/installer
D: Failed to get mtime of /var/log/installer
D: Checking mtime of /var/log/bootstrap.log
D: Failed to get mtime of /var/log/bootstrap.log
D: Checking mtime of /lost+found
D: Failed to get mtime of /lost+found
D: Checking mtime of /root
D: Using mtime from /root
D: Today's date: 2018-04-14
I: Installation date: 2017-08-27
D: Dates do not match
The system is *definitely* older that that. My oldest files in /var/log are
from 2007-12-17 ('news/', 'uucp.log', and 'boot.2.gz'). That seems like the
right timeframe for when I may have done the install.
It's been a while, but I know it was no earlier that the release date of Etch,
as I was awailing and official release with amd64 support. I believe it was no
later than 2008-04-01, because I was running Debian on my desktop before I
installed OpenSUSE on my laptop to "dogfood" during a contract where I was
porting software to SLES and that contract started 2008-03.
installation-birthday gives the same output when run as root via sudo.
