Description Ed Catmur 2006-03-28 16:48:00 UTC

portage-2.1_pre7-r2:

# emerge foo
(emerge fails; cd into $WORKDIR, fix)
# ebuild /path/to/foo-0.ebuild merge
>>> checksums files   ;-) foo-0.ebuild
>>> checksums files   ;-) files/digest-foo-0
>>> checksums src_uri ;-) foo-0.tar.gz
>>> Checking foo-0.tar.gz's mtime...
>>> foo-0.tar.gz has been updated; recreating WORKDIR...

This happens because ebuild.sh looks at ${DISTDIR}/foo-0.tar.gz, which is a symlink to ${PORTAGE_ACTUAL_DISTDIR}/foo-0.tar.gz, and so has mtime from when doebuild is called.

Uh, maybe ebuild.sh should check [ "${PORTAGE_ACTUAL_DISTDIR:-${DISTDIR}}/${x}" -nt "${WORKDIR}" ]?
