This is my point. With reproductible build turned on, there is no way as far as I'm aw= are of getting the revision of the sources the system was built from, and that bit of info can be very useful diagnosing/fixing and updating. It will return the revision of what the source directory was last updated t= o. That will probably be later than the running system. It won't return anything at all of course if the sources are no longer there. I'll try explaining another way. Let's say I'm relatively new to freebsd and I read up on downloading a 12-stable-snapshot and follow stable. Some issue with the base system happens. I email to stable@ and they ask what I'm running. I say, (because reproductible build defaults to "on" in this example) 12-stable. It's not really helpful to those wanting to assist. What benefit is had by losing this information by default? --=20 J. --dc+cDN39EJAMEtIO Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAABCAAdFiEE8n3tWhxW11Ccvv9/s8o7QhFzNAUFAl1LTnYACgkQs8o7QhFz NAX3ShAArxcVlgVxAANkIPDAXyjK4AxkWq7vU248PbHo43mjX0hBNmShMeDcnPnI R6QQF0YnhFfMZlJJSlbqnyZa0fkphZWWNAb/dx15rY36DRtj6gMXDhLbHn4N3/9d xLAflcUclFwdFmrqgOQzB2B4FNOohhS+zwXJSANHkbCFQ3E7DXVItJ1LEtLzlN2O DeXHvnycKlg06otYRY0QQ5KT9IW9tgfYh37FIY53P7YzJOUmOxOq0Contl+UIys7 mvM3YY5y/6g7IKI5WjWBs/jwtGf/y/yiCVqmXSSjTWFrmOOYPWHbBel1TUJ1JF3d dFez91PLxjyQqEYSS9bi1w6LkzS1IV7ae5TRAWWXwV8RVmlE7RLN+GXlhc+jYsor 5rlbtT8uFvSMtDli/fgL92XacB5fXIfAYhjWN3Hmk9impxDkAJ0TKPNTJVhCrWZP MIh5E3YdW2/duMLvZyzpNc4dWTPNtjBQzi1zlXnKUZvfWXodrkF9Pb6Uoh1e1Z1O Ts5PquGNDPpm10S5oBPp0VEwNNvPSFH86tT34GaPQHkTwwpIt9ywYfi2RQKPzmtt GzASA23rxNCU8+E2VErPV/H4C23bDTLU+B3QVyJdnfpglkao2GjA8Ixj8RmRDftH /hVjburOhs1Ektxg223jwjP7wfMVtRyqiBseVczOtxW6NXQeYPo= =1w4s -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --dc+cDN39EJAMEtIO--
