i dunno how feasible this is ... the fundamental problem is that upstream distributers may not mirror their files with the correct modification times ... i've seen some packages where upstream even changed the name of the file on different mirrors ;) the automated script we use for distfile fetching now uses wget, so if wget maintains mtimes, we're already doing this for a majority of our ebuilds. There are a minority of ebuilds that get uploaded by individual developers via an automated method. We will not be implementing mtime preservation for these ebuilds in the near future. |
