That's what I intend with my patch. I can rename the knob to WITH_/WITHOUT_REPRODUCIBLE_BUILD though if that's generally desired. If there's a consensus to default to including the metadata I'm fine with setting it in make release. > I think that host and path are more worthless than date and time > in many environments.

I don't follow -- other than the build iteration number (which I indeed missed), it is all gone.help
