Thank you Ed, I was a bit disappointed that it was ignored. :-( I'm still not convinced though, sorry. Ports tree can be obtained by a number of means, but this new ugly TIMESTAMP thingy is added for a very specific usecase, and there should be no problem to require that for that particular usecase, exported ports tree must have its files' mtimes correctly set. (If svn/git/hg are not setting right mtimes on export, they should be fixed.) It looks more like quick'n'dirty hack rather than thoroughly thought-out solution. ./danfe
