In Reply to: [gentoo-dev] mtime preservation by Denis Dupeyron
1 A quick note to tell you that I have tried to look for examples of
2 breakage due to how mtime preservation is currently implemented in
3 portage. Unfortunately I didn't find anything, maybe because I'm not
4 knowledgeable enough or because I can't afford to spend any more time
5 on this. If any of you can provide an example then please do so.

7 In case nobody could show any sign of such breakage I would have to
8 add to the list of two propositions to vote on:
9 3- Do nothing.
10
11 We can always point to code that shows the implementation is
12 suboptimal but we have to understand that some of us who are less
13 proactive at fixing issues may want to procrastinate until breakage
14 actually happens.

16 Denis.
