new packages not pulled if named the same

Issue #150 closed
Dustin Nikles created an issue

If a package in the packages folder gets replaced by a package with the same name, it will not replace the existing package when saving to volume. Maybe keep track of a hash or even time stamp to see if it needs replaced.

    I am worried about calculating hashes on slow drives. I could calculate the hash on save and save it as an extended attribute and then compare to the original. Or I could just check the filesize, but that seems less reliable.

    what do you think of an option like “full rebuild” instead of validation of if the packages are the same? It would just overwrite all the files. Would take a bit longer but would be much cleaner.

    full rebuild leaves nothing to guesswork. Hate to clutter up the interface for something most people may not be affected by though.
