* Fabio Valentini:
Yeah, the way the forge macros determine "snapshot date" is a bit broken / produces inconsistent results. It uses the source file *modification time* ("mtime"), which might or might not be consistent in all environments ... it's also an attempt to get the "date the snapshot was taken" (not the "date the specified commit was committed") which always seemed a bit misguided to me, but what do I know :)
fedpkg-minimal uses curl -R (--remote-time) to get the timestamp from the lookaside cache. But maybe the lookaside cache servers are not guaranteed to provide Last-Modified: headers? The public view appears to be okay, though.
It would be interesting to see the timestamps the server returned (curl -v output).
But maybe it's something else entirely and the build manages the modify the tarball somehow.
Thanks, Florian
