It would also be helpful, but probably impracticable to do, if the
dates on the listings were those of the zips themselves. This
would make it easy to scan for new material. As it is one has to
expand the listing proper. I'm not sure how to do it under bash,
but a 4dos script could do the dating. This presupposes that the
zip files proper are dated to their newest content, which can be
done with zip -o <zipfile>. I do that with the following .btm
script for 4dos:
[2] c:\djgpp>type redatzip.btm
@echo off
echo Redating all zipped packages present to oldest content
echo.
for %ff in (*.zip) do zip -o %ff
echo.
echo DONE
The do loop could prepare the listing file with "unzip -Z
><zipfile>.lst", followed by setting its date, and then moving it into listings.zip. I could prepare such, but since you are (I believe) maintaining things on linux it would probably be useless to you.
