[Pkg-octave-devel] Bug#550823: Updating load-path cache based on modification times probably a bad idea (was: Race condition between Octave 3.2.3 and unlink())

[Judd Storrs]

If we're already keeping track of when we last read a directory/file,
wouldn't it be easiest to make the comparison know about the tolerance? i.e.
use something equivalent to

if modtime + tolerance > cachetime
   reparse
endif

Then when the file/directory is older than the tolerance full caching would
kick in?
