[Bug 1411633] Re: man-db's manipulation of index.db mtime timestamp interferes with incremental backups
This is a consequence of the poor layout noted in this comment in purge_missing: if (will_run_mandb) /* Reset mtime to avoid confusing mandb into not running. * TODO: It would be better to avoid this by only opening * the database once between here and mandb. */ MYDBM_SET_TIME (dbf, db_mtime); There are some situations where a later update_db will not actually modify the database and update the mtime, and in this situation purge_missing may have updated the database but reset the mtime to its previous value. The reorganisation implied by this comment would fix this. ** Changed in: man-db (Ubuntu) Status: New = Triaged ** Changed in: man-db (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = High -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1411633 Title: man-db's manipulation of index.db mtime timestamp interferes with incremental backups To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/man-db/+bug/1411633/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
