The date string in the version printout is the date/time it was built, not the date of the last change in git. That gives you a useful string if you have a sequence of local edits that aren't committed yet. The git hash is there if you want the git info.
You can find version.c in build/main/ntpd/ and friends. It would be nice if waf was smart enough to recompile version at all the right times. It might miss some case. I mostly use a script that rm-s the build directory so I haven't had problems. I have another script that lets waf do its thing to save time. It rm-s the version stuff. I think that used to relink things that didn't change, but I just tried it and it skipped the relinking. Maybe I was confused. Maybe Amar fixed something. Speaking of version strings, the current string doesn't include the time zone. -- These are my opinions. I hate spam. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@ntpsec.org http://lists.ntpsec.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
