Tracking mtime on installed apps #3

Closed ksanislo closed 8 years ago

ksanislo commented 8 years ago

The mtime from TitleDB is currently the most accurate way to track revisions of apps since most home-brew don't currently have an actual version number in them. Many backend methods have some kind of time identifier, however basic HTTP links that don't provide a timestamp header will get the scan update time saved as mtime instead. Since it's a unix epoch timestamp (seconds since the start of 1970) so it /should/ always go up, but I've not checked everything to see if anything has invalid/future date or other bad data. Just being different than the previous install should be enough to say it's a new version.
