+
+Opkg should make sure the binaries it creates are created in a
+repoducibe way, but it shouldn't modify the mtime of the binaries it
+consumes. Doing so has side effects, for exmaple, Python pyc files are
+invalidated.

-Commit fcb26339000021eb9bb711aa264247aebcfdd4ae which added Debian-style
-support for link relocation tries to relocate symbolic link on host OS,
-resulting in following-like error when two alternative packages have
-symbolic link source located in different directories (/bin/rev ->
-/bin/busybox.nosuid and /usr/bin/rev -> /usr/bin/rev.util-linux):
-
-  update-alternatives: renaming rev link from /bin/rev to /usr/bin/rev
-  mv: cannot stat '/bin/rev': No such file or directory
-
-Fix the issue by prefixing 'olink' and 'link' variable references with
-path to targeted root filesystem's root directory.

-Subject: [opkg-utils PATCH] opkg-build: Add support for explicit use of pigz
-To: opkg-devel@googlegroups.com,
-    yocto@yoctoproject.org
-
-oe-core has stopped[1] installing pigz as gzip. This means that in
-order to persuade opkg-build to use pigz it must be specified
-explicitly. Let's teach opkg-build to deal with being passed pigz as a
-compressor.
-
-We can't combine the check for whether -T is required with the one for
-gzip because opkg-build needs to call $compressor and gzip separately
-to construct the package.
