Steve Langasek (vorlon) wrote : bzr-builddeb does not preserve timestamps on export, wants to rebuild targets that are current

Binary package hint: bzr-builddeb

Trying to run 'bzr bd' on pam, I wind up with an export where doc/specs/parse_y.c has a timestamp older than doc/specs/parse_y.y by a few microseconds, so the makefile tries to rebuild it. But the package doesn't build-depend on yacc, because the target *isn't* out of date within the upstream tarball, and the build fails nicely.

If the bzr export doesn't preserve the timestamps from the original tarball or from the working directory, then it should at least make sure they're all set to the same value.
