Description Petteri Räty (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2006-11-05 23:17:29 UTC
Now emerge-delta-webrsync happily syncs to an earlier state of the tree if for example the following happens:

rj baselayout # emerge-delta-webrsync

Syncing local tree...
apparently you have tarsync installed.  using it.
scanning tarball...

emerge-delta-webrsync should check the timestamps of the Portage tree and not sync the tree to an earlier state.
Comment 1 Zac Medico gentoo-dev 2012-08-19 00:32:49 UTC
There's already an emerge-delta-webrsync -u option will make it skip the sync in this case.

Changing the default seems reasonable though. We can borrow the get_snapshot_timestamp() function from emerge-webrsync, which grabs the timestamp from inside the tar file, and use that for a sanity check.
