fp-fix-timestamps - helper script for the Free Pascal stack in Debian
fp-fix-timestamps check|update|touch
fp-fix-timestamps is meant to be used by Debian source packages in the Free Pascal stack. The primary location for use is the debian/rules file. The aim of this script is to fix the timestamps of patched files (with respect to upstream) that would otherwise end up changing the timestamp stored in ppu files.
This timestamp in ppu files has two issues:
Currently this script supports three operations.
When the maintainer scripts modify a source file outside of the patches, the maintainer is free to add those files manually to the timestamps file, but then the check and update options don't work as expected anymore.
