I don't think putting the _build_ date in the version is a good idea. I rather liked the 2.1-Development one. Build date is in the rest of uname output so why duplicate it ? Especially when the build date has nothing to do with the sources dates... Better to put 2.2-Development there IMO. -- Ollivier ROBERT -=- The daemon is FREE! -=- roberto@FreeBSD.ORG FreeBSD keltia 2.0-BUILT-19950503 #3: Wed May 3 19:53:04 MET DST 1995
