request not to use local time in package version #31

Closed emacs18 closed 5 years ago

emacs18 commented 5 years ago

It appears that the time string used in package name is created based on local time rather than some fixed time such as Greenwich time. This is now causing problem, because package that I built has different time string than the one used by the official melpa packages. For example I just got the following error when I built all my packages myself:

(Spacemacs) Error: An error occurred while installing ein (error: (error Need package ‘request-20190621.1622’, but only 20190621.922 is available))

The official package at melpa.org has 1622 as time string. Package I built has 922 time string. My time zone is UTC-7.

If package-build.el is modified so that it always uses Greenwich time rather than local time in package version, then it appears that I would not run into the problem just described.
