Re: [Freedos-user] HIMEMX zip file dates
Hi Mercury and Jerome, I typically do modify the times to reflect the version number. Of course that's not necessary by any means, but it's a habit I started doing as a quick and easy contingency to help me in the event of files becoming crossed, e.g. if I were to accidentally drop files into the wrong version folder or some such errantry. Is the preferred behavior to not touch the times? If so, I can certainly refrain from doing so in future packages. :) Please preserve the timestamps of the original ZIP content. Good to know that Jerome has a tool for that, bad enough that GIT defaults to break timestamps without that tool? When handling files outside GIT, timestamps stay as-is. As you already add the LSM file, the handling date is preserved as timestamp of the LSM in the ZIP. You can even use ZIP -o to make the timestamp of the ZIP itself match the timestamp of the newest file inside the ZIP. In addition, I would still love the "release-cli" of our GITLAB repository to create actual release notes. At the moment, I only see WHICH packages got updated when, but need manual "research" to find out WHY. Regards, Eric PS: I think DJGPP should stay available as separate download. Most OTHER compilers are small enough to stay on the main CD.

When you checkout a project, the files get stamped with current time. The same thing happens when they create a release. The files in the zip have a timestamp based on the release creation and not when the file was last modified. This was one of the primary reasons I wrote the FDVCS.SH script. It maintains a simple hash based timestamp data file. Which is updated and managed automatically through the script during commits and checkouts to preserve correct timestamps. The script also handles several other issues and annoyances when using Git. Side note, The RBE pulls the project from the GitLab archive and uses that utility to adjust file timestamps before building the packages that get included on the release media. Anyhow, simply refetching the release zips from Git* won’t correct the timestamp issue with the mirrored archives.
