1 Hi all,
2
3 There's a strange problem with an ebuild of mine. It's for qt3 and isn't in
4 cvs yet. I haven't encountered it with any other ebuild.
5
6 qt3 takes upto 2 hours to build. I'm currently working on src_install(), so I
7 use ebuild install without recompiling.
8
9 However, I get a message of:
10 >>> MD5 ;-) qt-x11-free-3.0.0.tar.gz
11 >>> checking qt-x11-free-3.0.0.tar.gz's mtime...
12 >>> qt-x11-free-3.0.0.tar.gz has been updated, recreating WORKDIR...
13
14 and then the workdir is deleted and recompiling commences.
15
16 I've checked and qt-x11-free-3.0.0.tar.gz has the same exact mtime as the
17 /var/tmp/portage/qt-x11-3.0.0/work directory (WORKDIR) before it was deleted
18 (I've kept a copy).
19
20 Something seems to be touching the archive, what can be causing this?
21
22 And, where is the archive's original mtime stored, so that I can use the
23 WORKDIR I backed up (even without/before resolving this problem)?
