We previously copied the kernel into the appliance using 'cp -p' which
|
|
preserves the datestamps of the installed kernel. This can confuse
|
|
the --if-newer calculation, if for example the package database is
|
|
newer than the date on the installed kernel (which quite often is the
|
|
case). This makes it think that the appliance is always older than
|
|
the package database, thus forcing a rebuild.
|
|
|
|
We can fix this using 'cp' instead of 'cp -p'. We don't need the
|
|
permissions and datestamps on the copied kernel to be preserved anyway
|
|
(in fact, it could cause problems if the permissions are restrictive).
|
|
|
