The "build number" is actually the version, which is determined from debian/changelog. A hash shouldn't change when its input doesn't change. Timestamps can be faked by intercepting system calls. I'm sure there

This is a bit of a tangent, but I think it's important to remember that a huge corporation like Oracle has quite a different decision making process than individuals. Yes, one devision of Oracle owns, maintains and develops ZFS. But on

if you want a more general way to create anonymous functions in Perl 6, it's not that many more keystrokes away: sub ($a, $b) { $a + $b, [1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6] } Or even sub { $^a + $^b, [1, 2, 3], [4, 5, 6] } So yes, t
