Description

The file /etc/version.buildtime used to be a part of the pfSense-base package base.txz file, but it isn't there any longer. It's also not in the pfSense package where other version files moved (e.g. /etc/version).

Among other uses, the dashboard uses this file to display the "built on" timestamp in the system information widget. Currently even if an update to a new snapshot succeeded, the dashboard is showing an old timestamp since there is no new copy of the file.

It either needs to get back into the base.txz file or moved into the pfSense package.
