Bundled filter lists in releases are not timestamped

[benrg]

Prerequisites

• This is not a support issue or a question
• I performed a cursory search of the issue tracker to avoid opening a duplicate issue
• I am running the latest version of uBlock Origin

I tried to reproduce the issue when...

• uBO is the only extension
• uBO with default lists/settings
• using a new, unmodified browser profile

URL(s) where the issue occurs

N/A

Describe the issue

The filter lists in uBlock0_1.45.0.chromium.zip and uBlock0_1.45.0.firefox.signed.xpi all contain

! Last modified: %timestamp%

instead of an actual timestamp. Affected files are:

assets/thirdparties/easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easylist.txt
assets/thirdparties/easylist-downloads.adblockplus.org/easyprivacy.txt
assets/ublock/badware.txt
assets/ublock/filters-2020.txt
assets/ublock/filters-2021.txt
assets/ublock/filters-2022.txt
assets/ublock/filters.txt
assets/ublock/lan-block.txt
assets/ublock/legacy.txt
assets/ublock/privacy.txt
assets/ublock/quick-fixes.txt
assets/ublock/resource-abuse.txt
assets/ublock/ubol-filters.txt
assets/ublock/unbreak.txt

easylist.txt and easyprivacy.txt were correctly timestamped in earlier releases. The others have contained ! Last modified: %timestamp% since 1.42, and before that they had no Last modified: line at all.

@dportvine extract them from zip or try just after installation. Yours already updated.

But without updating how to see the date? I didn't pay attention before.

I need to pull the stamped files from gh-pages. So there needs to be two submodules for the same repo, but different branches. I am not familiar with submodules, if somebody can help with this that would be nice.

Or just patch the timestamp?
