Package: emacs21-el
Version: 21.3+1-8
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/share/emacs/21.3/lisp
Please preserve the original modification times from upstream. E.g., I
want to be able to see at a glance if I have the same file for a diff
*** emacs-21.3/lisp/files.el~ Thu Oct 24 07:07:56 2002
--- emacs-21.3/lisp/files.el Thu Dec 2 10:42:36 2004
but I can't because the mtimes were rewritten.
Wait, this is in Policy 4.6. Time Stamps!
--- End Message ---
--- Begin Message ---
The timestamps of unmodified .el files are preserved, and for modified
files it is correct to update their timestamp as an indication that
Debian modified them. So there is no bug here at all.
Closing the bug,
Sven
