Only stamp on optimized/release builds

[AustinSchuh]

I'd like to set our repo up so by default, -c dbg or -c fastbuild run without stamping, but -c opt runs with stamping enabled.

bazel.rc:
build --stamp=yes

will do it for everything. Is there a way to only enable stamping for -c opt by default?

There's no way to do that right now, but I think it's a very valuable
feature request. We might want that internally as well.

Assigning to Damien for further triage.

Ok that's a valuable FR but we haven't the bandwidth to work on it right now.

As a workaround you can put that in your bazelrc:

build:opt --stamp
build:opt -c opt

build:dbg --nostamp
build:dbg -c dbg

build:fastbuild --nostamp
build:fastbuild -c fastbuild

And then call bazel with --config dbg instead of -c dbg

@ulfjack given the workaround provided by damenmg above, is this still a feature worth considering or do we close this issue?

[ulfjack]

I think that's good enough.
