+ BUILD_ID=
+
+ A string uniquely
+ identifying the system image used as
+ the origin for a distribution (it is
+ not updated with system updates). The
+ field can be identical between
+ different VERSION_IDs as BUILD_ID is
+ an only a unique identifier to a
+ specific version. Distributions that
+ release each update as a new version
+ would only need to use VERSION_ID as
+ each build is already distinct based
+ on the VERSION_ID. This field is
+ optional. Example:
+ BUILD_ID="2013-03-20.3"
+ or
+ BUILD_ID=201303203.
