A quick note to tell you that I have tried to look for examples of
breakage due to how mtime preservation is currently implemented in
portage. Unfortunately I didn't find anything, maybe because I'm not
knowledgeable enough or because I can't afford to spend any more time
on this. If any of you

Portage uses two ways of merging a file: os.rename() and the manual way.
os.rename() correctly preserves mtimes.
Python's os.utime call, which is what Portage uses to preserve mtimes
for files that it installs the

That's a great explanation (thanks, I now know the details to the

breakage, aka actual bugs.
Why? You can easily look and see that it's broken. Examples

Real examples would be issues like bugs 83877 [1] or 263387 [2]. Nothing
that could be easily dismissed or worked around. Both issues are fixed
with Portage since a long time.
Thanks.
I don't know of any example where

Alternatively, we could simply make portage spawn the mv binary
whenever rename fails (it fails when the source and destination are on
different devices). Although it's relatively slow, it should solve the
problem.
