Description Ales Kozumplik 2011-03-22 07:51:56 UTC 
It is difficult to figure out what version of lorax composed the initrd a particular bug is reported against. Confusing situations happen, bugs are reported against wrong Lorax versions, reporter often claiming a fixed-in version is used and the bug still can be reproduced, turning this bugzilla into a house of lies, etc.

To remedy the situation I propose adding a [compose] section into .buildstamp that will mention the lorax version used, e.g

[Main]
...
[Compose]
Lorax=0.3.2
