Hello all,
is it possible to do the following: after fetching a distfile portage runs
an external normaliser program specified in an ebuild before checking the
hash?
My use case is the following: I would like to improve the gs-elpa program
and provide a precomputed overlay for melpa. However the melpa distfiles are
rebuilt everyday and cause checksum failures. However the only thing
changing are the timestamps. Hence if a normaliser program could simply set
all timestamps to some predefined value (say 1.1.1970) then this problem
should vanish.
Thanks in advance
Markus

intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much---the wheel, New
York, wars and so on---while all the dolphins had ever done was muck about
in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always
believed that they were far more intelligent than man---for precisely the
same reasons. (Douglas Adams, The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.)
