But then again, FAT is not really a filesystem, rather just a failed try.But yes, this does nothing useful if /usr/share/info is on a FAT filesystem, as the mtime doesn't change.So, should we try to guard against that (installations on a USB stick are probably the only practical occurence these days)? I wouldn't mind if we just unconditionally rebuild on FAT(32).
Thinking this over, it doesn't seem that hard to use a hash to determine if the directory has changed.
How about the attached? (This will add a dependency on diffutils for cmp)
Otherwise, it looks good and thanks for writing up a script.
