What practical purpose does having a time stamp serve? If you really need to see, what is wrong with the mtime in your build tree? For shipped binaries to customers, exactly when it was built is irrelevant, whereas peoples ability to independently verify the integrity of the binary is important. ~Andrew _______________________________________________ Xen-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.xenproject.org/mailman/listinfo/xen-devel
