Ah, I was wondering where that version came from, since it didn't match the dates on the files. > I also keep the timestamp for the installed files.

How odd, cp -p should work and in fact it does seem to work for me; I commented out the touch statements in %install and built in mock and the resulting package had Apr 12 and May 16 for the .bst and .cls files, respectively. Even the .pdf files in %doc came out correctly. I then commented out the first touch staement in %prep and things were still OK. However, even with an unmodified spec, the .tex files still came out with the build time. Perhaps it would be best just to leave things alone since they really are being modified. > Tell me if you prefer that I remove those changes. I think it's useful to try and preserve the timestamps as possible, but just using cp -p seems to work fine for me so the extra work seems unnecessary. I wonder why you're seeing different behavior? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the QA contact for the bug, or are watching the QA contact. _______________________________________________ Fedora-package-review mailing list Fedora-package-review@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-package-review
