Subject: minstall: Don't copy over an identical file
X-Git-Url: https://git.libre-soc.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=d2f4c2b6327832ce59dde5d7741a656b5ff5c46d;p=mesa.git

minstall: Don't copy over an identical file

The rationale here is to avoid updating a timestamp for a file that
hasn't changed. Needless updates of the timestamp can ripple into
other projects, (xserver, etc.), useless recompiling due to a
'make install' in mesa that didn't actually change anything.
