Is it possible to set a property on a file and have it remove
automatically when the file is modified?
Suppose that we have a style checker that checks a lot of source code
files. Once it examined a file and found it to be clean, it should set a
property on the file ("style-clean"). Whenever the style checker is
executed it skips files with this property. Whenever the file is
modified, the filesystem removes the property.
Is this possible? Which filesystems does it work on?
One solution would be using 'make'. With rules like the following
only modified files will
be proceeded:
timestamp: myFile
doSomthingWidth myFile
touch timestamp
We have thought about that, but we would like to avoid having a parallel
file hierarchy of timestamp files for our source tree. Therefore
something like the archive attribute (suggested by Etanoi Shrdlu) would
be better.
