Re: [coldsync-hackers] Installing newer database from .palm/install

[Mikael Hedin <mikael.hedin@irf.se>]

On second thought (when playing with an implementation), it seems
complicated to make a generic decision for when to overwrite based on
mtime/ctime.  Simplest to stick with the modnum only.  Or maybe:

if (newfile->mtime laterthan oldfile->mtime) ||
     ((newfile->mtime == oldfile->mtime) && (newfile->modnum > oldfile->modnum))
{install newfile}

or should it be the ctimes that are compared?  

BTW, is there a function to compare struct dlp_time and udword?  (For
the laterthan operator).
