Too late, I already changed it that way at the end of December (!1197 I think) f76af8b7, I messed up again. Remove --build-epoch and replace it with arbitrary --build-desc text. Passing '--build-desc=$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%Sz)' restores the previous default extended version. The build epoch has been replaced with a hardcoded timestamp which will be manually updated every nine years or so (approx 512w). This makes the binaries reproducible by default. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@ntpsec.org http://lists.ntpsec.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
