Paver-minilib.zip changing by each sdist

[ponty]

Paver-minilib.zip file content is changing by each sdist task call, because the file modification time is always updated
in the PKZip header. There was no such behavior in previous versions.
I use git and I don't know if file change is important or just time update.

Version: Paver 1.0.5

I resolved this problem by downgrading paver to 1.0.3

tried to replicate this problem, but without any success. Can you provide some more details?

[ponty]

You are right, I use paved where the sdist task is overidden with minilib dependency.

@task
@needs('get_distribute', 'generate_setup', 'minilib', 'manifest', 'setuptools.command.sdist')
def sdist():
    """Overrides sdist to make sure that our setup.py is generated.
    """
    pass

To replicate this problem run paver minilib

@ponty The fact that minilib regenerates minilib is intentional. I am hesistant to change it...would it be OK if it would be configurable via options?

Can you please elaborate on how paver version is affecting that?

My experience was that running Paver 1.0.5 overwrites existing minilib.zip, but Paver 1.0.3 doesn't.
I think that it would be better first to check existing minilib.zip content,
and only overwrite if it is not OK.
