Description Simon Kaegi CLA 2008-05-20 13:55:10 EDT 
The support in the reconciler tracks changes to the timestamp of the dropins and the base features and plugins folders. This will prevent us from seeing any additions and removals to the folders pointed to by link files.
Comment 1 Christopher Daniel CLA 2009-11-16 09:16:55 EST 
Simon,

do you mean that reconciler will pick up changes made in
dropins/plugins?

Did it worked in 3.4?

This looks to me like a duplicate of bug 269297. DJ can you confirm?
Comment 3 DJ Houghton CLA 2010-03-03 09:40:26 EST 
Yes it is a duplicate. The new code records the timestamps of the link targets and not only the .link files themselves.
