After doing a bit of bisecting it appears that this commit is the culprit: reproducible_build: Remove BUILD_REPRODUCIBLE_BINARIES checking https://git.yoctoproject.org/poky/commit/?h=dunfell&id=0d6ebaf8ff3232248ebf0e859cd09aefaee54a8a Since this was cherry-picked from master to fix some reproducibililty errors I suspected that the issue might also exist in the master branch. A quick test with: BUILD_REPRODUCIBLE_BINARIES = "0" BUILDNAME = "my custom name" added to local.conf confirmed that /etc/version was indeed "20180309123456" instead of the expected "my custom name" I'm out of time to work on this today, but perhaps Richard might have some ideas on how to address this.
