Hello,

A question on timestamps when files are delivered to a system.

o when doing the install the files receive timestamps based
  upon the time of the install:

 machine1:
 ls -l -% all ant
 -rwxr-xr-x   1 root     bin         9807 Mar 30  2010 ant
          timestamp: atime         Nov 17 12:44:40 2010
          timestamp: ctime         Mar 30 13:28:51 2010
          timestamp: mtime         Mar 30 13:28:51 2010
          timestamp: crtime         Mar 30 13:28:51 2010

 machine2:
 ls -l -% all ant
 -rwxr-xr-x   1 root     bin         9807 Oct 13 18:21 ant
          timestamp: atime         Nov 17 12:55:10 2010
          timestamp: ctime         Oct 13 18:21:53 2010
          timestamp: mtime         Oct 13 18:21:53 2010
          timestamp: crtime         Oct 13 18:21:53 2010

 machine3:
  ls -l -% all ant
 -rwxr-xr-x   1 root     bin         9807 Nov 10 14:03 ant
          timestamp: atime         Nov 17 12:49:56 2010
          timestamp: ctime         Nov 10 14:03:21 2010
          timestamp: mtime         Nov 10 14:03:21 2010
          timestamp: crtime         Nov 10 14:03:21 2010

I note that for file actions there is a timestamp attribute but it
is only used for very few ON files.

Should the mtime be consistent across installs ?

thanks
pete
