Bug 233104 – Patch for providing http://packages.gentoo.org/date/YYYYMMDD

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: Gentoo Infrastructure

[Description manuels 2008-07-27 14:10:14 UTC]

This is a patch to provide a list of all new packages since a stated date (also as rss feed).
With this rss feed you can check if there are any new packages installed on your system in the portage tree since your last sync.

Furthermore, I added a script that downloads this rss feed and compares the data included with your /var/lib/portage/world file.

Reproducible: Always

looks good, but why do you have two "elif path.startswith('/date'):" blocks?

You're right, that does not make sense.

Merged now.

You had a minor error in your date_filter code with the cache key, and you didn't cache the object layer at all. Both fixed in the implementation.
