I don't fully understand the use case. I think the build date is being used as a substitute for a software version.

Is there a best practice for folks who want to put the build date into
their generated os-release file?  I've seen this question come up at
least 3 times in my brief involvement with OE.  I could perhaps add
comment to the OpenBMC os-release.bbappend file to provide the proper
guidance.  I would like to hear your ideas.

Byron,

What modification did you put into the os-release recipe?  It would help
us help you if you put that in your email.


Are you adding the build date to the generated os-release file? If so,
be aware that might cause the issues with the shared state cache you are
experiencing.  Also be aware this practice wrecks reproducible builds.

A better way to get the same effect might be to create a git tag with
the information you want to appear in the generated os-release file.
When you buld with this tag is then picked up by the OpenBMC
meta-phosphor os-release.bbappend (via `git describe`) and included in
the genersted os-release file as the BUILD_ID. See:

https://github.com/ibm-openbmc/openbmc/blob/d1c59b7a36c10c18838c07af10b18080174cd61d/meta-phosphor/recipes-core/os-release/os-release.bbappend
(But I have not tried that.)

A way to work around the hash change is to add a line to your recipe
like: PR[vardepsxeclude]="DATETIME"
As suggested by:

My apologies for top posting -- my email reader was not quoting the
message properly, so I cut/pasted it below.

Thank you?
I execute the recommended command on the console and it didn't work.
