Somehow missed that thread. I've also added it to UPDATING now too, in r338946 - I missed that at first. > I had to add the line WITHOUT_REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD="YES" > to /etc/src.conf. I could not see WITH_REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD in man src.conf. Where a knob has the same default on all architectures,only the (non-default) setting that has an effect is documented: WITHOUT_REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD Set to include build metadata (such as the build time, user, and host) in the kernel, boot loaders, and uname output. Successive builds will not be bit-for-bit identical. > So this means at least in -current r338903 that > WITHOUT_REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD="NO" is the default, iow REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD is on > by default unless everything is recompiled WITHOUT_REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD="YES". The WITH/WITHOUT options do not test the value, only whether set or not -- see the src.conf(5) note: The values of variables are ignored regardless of their setting; even if they would be set to "FALSE" or "NO". The presence of an option causes it to be honored by make(1). In other words, there are only two cases: - REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD defaults to off, and WITH_REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD=yes enables it (prior to r338642) - REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD defaults to on, and WITHOUT_REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD=yes disables it (r338643 and later) Note that the original plan was to make this change only in the branch before the release, but we decided to do it earlier in order to identify any issues. Right now it's still undecided whether the default will switch back to off in HEAD after the branch or not.
