Will break reproducible builds. What is the benefit here if you cannot use the release date?


The code is using procfs(5). A pkg-message should tell which or some functions require it...
Comment 3 Daniel Engberg freebsd_committer freebsd_triage 2026-01-03 15:29:04 UTC 
How much of the claimed functionality actually works on FreeBSD?
Comment 4 Hung-Yi Chen 2026-01-04 03:10:02 UTC 
(In reply to Michael Osipov from comment #2)
Thanks for the review.

I agree with your suggestion. Using the release date for main.buildDate is indeed a better approach.

Upon reflection, given that procfs is not enabled by default on FreeBSD, I plan to remove the procfs implementation entirely.

I will make these adjustments and upload the updated patch soon.

I don't consider it wrong to use procfs, you just need to tell people what is going to be missing. That's it.

Shall I wait for you to analyze the other issues or go ahead with this one?
Comment 13 Hung-Yi Chen 2026-01-09 15:03:27 UTC 
I think you can go ahead since upstream is very active.
