The package provides macros to read and compare the
modification dates of files. The files may be .tex files,
images or other files (as long as they can be found by LaTeX).
It uses the \pdffilemoddate primitive of pdfLaTeX to find the
file modification date as PDF date string, parses the string
and returns the value to the user. The package will also work
for DVI output with recent versions of the LaTeX compiler which
uses pdfLaTeX in DVI mode. The functionality is provided by
purely expandable macros or by faster but non-expandable ones.
Paths come from the repository package-file index for the observed builds. They describe archive/package associations, not every file that will exist on a running system after maintainer scripts, alternatives, generated state, diversions, or installation choices.
Each row is recorded package-index metadata for one version, architecture, suite, and repository. Names, URLs, and sizes are source-reported; a link is a potentially mutable retrieval location, not an OpenFactory redistribution claim or proof that OpenFactory retained the artifact bytes.
For an APT source, signature verification authenticates the repository metadata chain and the Packages index containing this source-reported artifact digest. It does not certify package safety.
