From 91d43ba4b44e0827c6d9b66c70485672953f5a6d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xavier Chantry Date: Tue, 3 Mar 2009 17:10:26 +0100 Subject: repo-add : don't change the modification time on depends and desc The modification time on depends and desc file were changed to match the modification time of the package file. I don't see why and we are actualling losing information here. If we want to know the date of the package file, we can just look inside the depends file. If we want to know when the entry was created, we should not alter the modification time of depends and desc. Besides, this had the non-obvious and undocumented side effect that the depends file was always created, even if it was empty. And pacman actually does require that. So I added a "touch depends" to always create the file.
