I use it to record/keep a record of work done and what needs to be done. It is a personal preference. These disks are/were going to hold my work since 1984. I often do a ls -la on them. Having the time change from 1988 to 2008 really messes things up. I can not easily see what has been done. For example I client calls and want to know the last time I updated package XYZ. I quickly do a ls -la on the location and I can tell him. It was for example Jan 14 2001.
Isn't the obvious follow-up from the customer: ...and what did you change then? Using your method you would have to go through the time stamps on all files and look for the latest changes, and even then you might only be able to tell him which file was changed With svn or cvs you ẃould have the answer immediately, without having to do anything extra I think you're optimizing for the wrong problem. But couldn't you at least maintain a changelog file? Files don't change their mtime, and you would also know immediately at least a brief description of what was changed Anders -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
