Gavin commented on FOR-1175:
----------------------------

Did you look at

http://forrest.apache.org/docs_0_90/faq.html#checksums

not sure if you use ForrestBot.

Who/what is oDesk? - I'd suggest contacting a Forrest Dev directly.

>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Launch 'forrest'

> Years ago, I asked about this issue on the user mailing list:
> <http://article.gmane.org/gmane.text.xml.forrest.user/4391/match=skin+directory+copied+unconditionally+static+site+build>
> AFAIK, nothing has changed since then.  I want to report the issue here so it 
> does not get forgotten.
> Anyway:
> When I rebuild my static site, the "skin" directory seems to be copied 
> unconditionally to the build/site/ directory.  This means that, because the 
> local files have been rewritten and consequently have newer modification 
> times than the remote files, skin/ is uploaded each time I use lftp's reverse 
> mirror function to publish changes to my public Web site, even if nothing in 
> the skin has changed.
> The Ant target that copies the non-generated content to build/site/ should be 
> changed to copy files (including skin files) only if the source file has 
> changed.  Maybe rsync could be used to copy non-generated content.
> If no one fixes this issue, I may use oDesk to hire someone to fix the issue. 
>  I have already had success with using oDesk to hire Michal Sciubidlo to fix 
> Mozilla.org bug 269728.  I have hired Michal again to fix Mozilla.org bug 
> 178506.
