Ok, there's got to be a trick for this!

Hi,
Tinderbox is really smart about knowing when it's port tree is update
and upgrading the affected packages.  I found out the hard way that
deleting the package from $BUILD/All is considered the same as updating
the port.  I assume rebuilding a port manually would be the same thing
effective.

The problem is that I deleted a root package.  Pkgsrc has a concept of
"bootstrapDepends" and the digest package is a dependency of every
single port in the tree.  I deleted this package to force a rebuild, but
now every existing package thinks it needs to be rebuilt.

I tried touching the package archive with an older date.
I tried changing the date in the database to match this file date.

Nothing is working, tinderbox is too smart for me.

How can I trick tinderbox into thinking none of the packages need
rebuilding permanent?  I guess each library that got rebuilt since the
bootstrap cascades to its own set of rebuilds...  Oh, and where is the
logic that determine what dependencies need rebuilding?

Sure, I could spend 8 hours rebuilding everything, but this has happened
to me a couple of times and I'd like to have a trick in my hip pocket
during this testing phase of tinderbox-dragonfly.

Thanks,
John
