Hi list, |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
files installed by portage to ${ROOT} do not have the same time stamps as the same files |
| 7 |
in ${D}. This creates problems for Common Lisp implementations and one Scheme |
| 8 |
implementation in our overlay, explained in [1]. Current work-around is tarring up and |
| 9 |
untarring to preserve mtimes. Fixes mentioned in [2] could reduce that hack to a touch of |
| 10 |
some generated files to make them older than their sources, at least in our case. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
Unfortunately not all package managers implement the same behaviour and I don't think PMS |
| 13 |
says anything about it. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
With reference counting implemented there doesn't seem to be any reason not to preserve |
| 16 |
mtimes by default anymore and I think that would be the correct thing to do, but either |
| 17 |
way I'd like PMS to specify what should happen wrt to mtimes, so that I can rely on that. |
