[Dagobert Michelsen]

Hi,

due to lack of response I just commit this now.

PSTAMP for packages build with GAR now have the form
   $(LOGNAME)@$(shell hostname)-$(SVN_REV)-$(shell date '+%Y%m%d%H%M%S')
where SVN_REV is
   r1234             the SVN revision
   r1234UNCOMMITTED  the SVN revision, but with some things
                     not checked in
   NOTVERSIONED      the directory was not added to SVN
   NOSVN             there is no svn installed in the system

This has been committed as r2106:
   <http://svn.blastwave.org/trac/changeset/2106>

Phil, could you please add a test to checkpkg to reject
packages with the new PSTAMP which either have UNCOMMITTED,
NOTVERSIONED or NOSVN in the PSTAMP?

Next thing are modular packages, so James can put released
versions of packages aside and look for packages with the
timestamp just introduced. So please take a look at
   http://svn.blastwave.org/trac/browser/csw/branches/modularpkg
if this suites your needs. It is currently just a study, but
I need feedback to know if I'm going the right path or
just mess up the repository.

If anything breaks, just yell ;-)


Thanks!
