[GRASS-dev] GRASS 6.3.0RC4 preparation

Hi,

I have backported relevant patches from SVN-HEAD and want to
package GRASS 6.3.0RC4 (which is hopefully the last candidate).

Unfortunately (as we know), SVN does not preserve the time stamp
when downloading a file. So all files have a time stamp from 2008.

Any idea how to restore the last change as time stamp?

  I'm not familiar with SVN at all, but may rsync(1) be of any use
  here? E. g.:

$ ls -gGl old-version/
total 2
-rw-r--r-- 1 2 Jan 8 21:34 did-change
-rw-r--r-- 1 2 Jan 8 21:34 did-not-change
$ LC_ALL=C ls -gGl new-version.from-svn/
total 2
-rw-r--r-- 1 3 Jan 8 21:36 did-change
-rw-r--r-- 1 2 Jan 8 21:36 did-not-change
$ rsync -rlt old-version/ new-version/
$ rsync -crl new-version.from-svn/ new-version/
$ ls -gGl new-version
итого 2
-rw-r--r-- 1 3 Jan 8 21:37 did-change
-rw-r--r-- 1 2 Jan 8 21:34 did-not-change
$

  This way, m-time will be set either to the one of the earlier
  version (if the file didn't change), or to the current time (if
  it did.)

  You'll need a previous version (`old-version' in the example
  above) unpacked from a tarball, though.

Ivan,

I am impressed! Worked nicely.

Thanks so much,
Markus
