That did use to be the case a long time ago, but I wrote a patch to update the mtimes after a cache hit. The mtime updates are still there, see from_cache() in ccache.c. Using the file atimes wouldn't work well because they can be accidentally updated by file searches, and a lot of filesytems are mounted with noatime anyway. _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
