Comment 29 for bug 215499

> could you not abuse the official versionning otherwise the next ubuntu update will not be installed for user installing your version?

If you check better you'll see that the PPA version has ~tormod tagged to it so it will indeed be updated at next Ubuntu update. The attached debdiff has not, since I posted it as a candidate for hardy-proposed.

> also you should better wait for an official fix rather than push random changes to users

I am not "pushing", not even recommending or explaining anyone to install them :) It's not "random", it's the best shot so far from upstream. They are not totally happy with it since they are concerned with ACL and more exotic filesystems etc which is not so important for normal desktop users. Actually, when copying from a removable drive, I never want to copy ACL, only the time stamps. Can't be much worse than the current behaviour IMHO.

To wait for the "official" fix from upstream is not a good option, that might end up very late and IMO it's already too late. I have unfortunately already copied much data without checking the timestamps since I installed 8.04. This patch fixes this 99% for me and probably many others. I am not saying that this is a perfect fix, but it's a step in the right direction and we can update again to the perfect fix later.
