timestamps in rpmbuild
Victor Eijkhout
My spec file ends with (note the "ls" on the first line):
%%%%%%%%%
ls -l $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%{slepc_install_dir}/nehalem-shared/lib/
# 3.1 is the default module
rm -f $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%{modulefileroot}/.version
ln -s %{modulefileroot}/.version.%{version}
$RPM_BUILD_ROOT/%{modulefileroot}/.\
version
%install
%files -n %{name}-%{version}-%{comp_fam_ver}-%{mpi_fam_ver}
%defattr(755,root,install)
%{slepc_install_dir}
%{modulefileroot}
%%%%%%%%%%%%
and the corresponding output is (note the timestamps in the output of
ls):
%%%%%%%%%%%%
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2349060 Feb 22 20:25 libslepc.a
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 2338444 Feb 22 20:25 libslepc.so

%%%%%%%%%%%%
but if I look at the actual files that are installed:
%%%%%%%%%%%%%
build$ cd nehalem-shared/lib/
build$ ls -l
total 4568
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root install 2327676 Feb 22 20:29 libslepc.a*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root install 2338444 Feb 22 20:25 libslepc.so*
%%%%%%%%%%%%%
the timestamp on the .a file has changed. Why?
