Event TimelineComment Actions I'm assuming this is a patch from a time traveller who has come back from 11 years in the future seeking to prevent some disaster, after this test case somehow becomes part of some critical infrastructure. Definitely don't want to stand in the way of that! Comment Actions As to the why: I'm working on reproducible builds for openSUSE and for that I verify that our packages can still give identical build results 15 years from now (which is the expected lifetime of today's enterprise software). kvm -rtc base option helps there. Now, it would be nice if someone could push this patch to the git repo. |
