Hello all, |
2 |
|
3 |
is it possible to do the following: after fetching a distfile portage runs |
4 |
an external normaliser program specified in an ebuild before checking the |
5 |
hash? |
6 |
|
7 |
My use case is the following: I would like to improve the gs-elpa program |
8 |
and provide a precomputed overlay for melpa. However the melpa distfiles are |
9 |
rebuilt everyday and cause checksum failures. However the only thing |
10 |
changing are the timestamps. Hence if a normaliser program could simply set |
11 |
all timestamps to some predefined value (say 1.1.1970) then this problem |
12 |
should vanish. |

Thanks in advance |

For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more |
20 |
intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much---the wheel, New |
21 |
York, wars and so on---while all the dolphins had ever done was muck about |
22 |
in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always |
23 |
believed that they were far more intelligent than man---for precisely the |
24 |
same reasons. (Douglas Adams, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.) |
