Its heart is a single find+xargs+touch command. I had in mind that packages not using dh or cdbs could have their own way on how to make the mtimes deterministic. Possibly by adding such a find command in their debian/rules at the right location, but there might be other solutions. > I can think of 2 ways.. one is to add it to some existing command, > perhaps renaming the command.

Maybe it should be integrated to dh_builddeb, then? -- Lunar .''`. [email protected] : :Ⓐ : # apt-get install anarchism `. `'` `-
