- /* The date below is automatically updated every day by a bot. During
- development, we include the date in the tools' version strings
- (visible in 'ld -v' etc.) because people build binutils from a
- variety of sources - git, tarballs, distro sources - and we want
- something that can easily identify the source they used when they
- report bugs. The bfd version plus date is usually good enough for
- that purpose.
- During development, this date ends up in libbfd and libopcodes
- sonames because people naturally expect shared libraries with the
- same soname to have compatible ABIs. We could bump the bfd version
- on every ABI change, but that's just another thing contributors and
- maintainers would need to remember. Instead, it's much easier for
- all if the soname contains the date. This is not perfect but is
- good enough.
- In releases, the date is not included in either version strings or
- sonames. */
