Hi all, Doing freebsd-update builds, I've now had two instances where /usr/bin/svnlite has built inexplicably differently -- changes scattered all over the binary. This is a problem for freebsd-update because it means that at some point in the future the builds may not be able to correctly identify if that binary needs to be distributed as part of a security update. The svn* binaries had build date+time stamps in them until I nuked them in r257129, but those are cleanly self-contained -- this is something else building differently. Unfortunately despite the freebsd-update builds running into this, I haven't been able to reproduce it myself and so I can't track down what is causing this. If anyone can provide assistance with this, it would be very gratefully received. -- Colin Percival Security Officer Emeritus, FreeBSD | The power to serve Founder, Tarsnap | www.tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid
