 raboof | it's a balance, I'm not convinced yet the convention is 'broken' in such a meaningful way here - it's already true that fetching a tarball is slightly different from fetching the same sources from git, for example. The fetchers already have parameters to modify their behavior, so adding a 'keepSourceDate' parameter seems consistent with that (and nicer than having to manually update such a 'epoch' field every time you update the src). I guess whether to enable it by default could be more contentious ;) | 11:11:15 |
 atemu12 | raboof: The thing is that you could fetchzip the tarball or zip file on github, fetchgit from any git host in existance or copy the source tree off a USB drive and always arrive at the same store path | 11:13:37 |
| atemu12 | There are optional flags to sprinkle in additional information but never by default | 11:14:46 |
