Interesting feature indeed. Currently, both autotools and cmake are supported to install pktools. I am thinking of only supporting cmake for next releases (easier to maintain, cross-platform). There is a date variable I can set in the in CMAKE_VERSION variables, but AFAIK this is only used for developement versions of the package (check https://cmake.org/cmake/help/v3.0/variable/CMAKE_VERSION.html):

Development versions represented the development date in the fourth component, i.e. <major>.<minor>.<patch>.<date>[-<id>].

I would need to further investigate.

It would be useful to add the release date in the --version printout, e.g.

pkinfo --version
