Call it compability with apt-get source which does preserve the timestamps. Or just eye-candy. Or, although rather personal: An .orig.tar.gz with a timestamp of more or less "now" is an alarm sign to me: In the past I saw that only if that tar ball was re-generated, something that was very likely not intended. > Also, your patch doesn't change the current behavior at all > since wget ignores -N when -O is being used (which dget does). Indeed, dget using wget always worked as expected here, read: timestamps were preserved. Aníbal, I suspect you have an .wgetrc interfering, causing you to suggest "-N". The trouble for me started when curl was installed and preferred by dget, since the "-R" (long form is better: "--remote-time") option is needed for curl. I'm not including the trivial patch, however it works for me. Christoph -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
