Subject: Script to guess Red Hat machine's build date.
X-Git-Url: http://git.iain.cx/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=08392e37a0280a6943b36d0b857f916cd650a3d5;p=profile.git

Script to guess Red Hat machine's build date.

Querying RPM for the installation date of the basesystem package should
provide a decent approximation of the date the machine was (re)built.
