Package: pristine-tar Version: 0.18 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch Please consider adding an option to zgz to explicitly set the timestamp to save in the gzip file. With such an option, pristine-gz would not need to create a temporary file and set its modification time. Together with the similar changes to gzip in bug 506798, pristine-gz would not need to create temporary files at all.
I have a git repository of pristine-tar at git://joshtriplett.org/git/pristine-tar.git with a "timestamp-flag" branch adding this functionality. Please consider pulling it. Note that I based the timestamp-flag branch on my "cleanups" branch which has various cleanups to zgz. If necessary I can regenerate the timestamp-flag branch without those cleanups, but hopefully you'll find the cleanups useful as well. - Josh Triplett -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 2.6.27-1-amd64 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages pristine-tar depends on: ii libc6 2.7-16 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii perl-modules 5.10.0-17 Core Perl modules ii xdelta 1.1.3-8 A diff utility which works with bi ii zlib1g 1:1.2.3.3.dfsg-12 compression library - runtime Versions of packages pristine-tar recommends: ii bzip2 1.0.5-1 high-quality block-sorting file co pn pbzip2 <none> (no description available) pristine-tar suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
