Some packages haven't changed in awhile. No, this isn't true. Every package changes when it's rebuilt because it contains timestamps. It's possible, though somewhat tricky, to try and detect whether the files themselves have changed (but it's made difficult because many files themselves contain embedded timestamps, e.g. all lib*.a files), but we don't do that. I wrote some code back in December which attempts to check whether the packages are different, but it's pretty slow and doesn't deal with lib*.a files yet. Still, it would probably be worthwhile using. > > The {q3,hl,ut}server packages total 1.2GB. Do we really need them > > all? >=20 > I would say no.
