I would like to pick up Trygves initiative again. Some time
ago I talked with Phil about including revision numbers in
the pkginfo in the form
   PSTAMP=GAR-r#######-YYYMMDDHHMMSS
When the PSTAMP is set the directory in inspected with an
"svn status". If there are uncommited changes, unadded files
or anything else that looks strange the PSTAMP is modified
     PSTAMP=GAR-r#######UNCOMMITTED-YYYMMDDHHMMSS
to make it clear that the package is not reproducible by
checking out the current sources. "Anything strange" also
means files which are not in the repository which should be
ignored. If there are more files to be produced they must
be added manually, but I think that is a good idea as it
shows the maintainer has actively decided not to include them.
Therefore this property should be set on all directories.

Ideas, as always, welcome.


Best regards
