We have used and had fallback futimens() implementations in libroot_build (and in this file even) for over a decade, but nobody seems to have noticed this bit of missing functionality which can be implemented with them. In fact, this is rather important bit of functionality, as "copyattr" relies on it to preserve the mtimes of copied files; and we use recursive copyattr many places in Haiku builds. Thus, the lack of an implementation here was the cause of all files in built Haiku images having timestamps of whenever the build was done, and not whenever the file was actually modified. This should make development on Haiku nightlies much more pleasant, as the system headers from the haiku_devel package should no longer have always-current timestamps with every upgrade. |

Haiku
Homepage | Mailing Lists | IRC Channels | Issue Tracker | API docs
Haiku is an open-source operating system that specifically targets personal computing. Inspired by the BeOS, Haiku is fast, simple to use, easy to learn and yet very powerful.
Goals
- Sensible defaults with minimal configuration required.
- Clean, clear, concise code.
- Unified desktop environment.
Trying Haiku
Haiku provides pre-built nightly images and release images. Haiku is compatible with a large variety of hardware, but in case you don't want to "take the plunge" and install Haiku on bare metal, you can install it on a virtual machine (VM) instead. If you've never used a VM before, you can follow one of the "Emulating Haiku" guides.
