Summary

0003462: ArchiveCache.lua not updated when mod dependencies are changed

Description

When a dependency is removed from modinfo.lua, spring still wants to use it.
If that file was deleted, Spring complains about " Incorrect/Missing content"

Steps To Reproduce

Make mod that depends on blabla file:
modinfo.lua:
depend = {
"cursors.sdz",
"blabla",
}
Delete blabla file: Spring correctly complains about missing content.

Remove the "blabla" line: Spring will still not load the mod.

Additional Information

Deleting ArchiveCache.lua fixes it and afterwards the entry in ArchiveCache.lua is correctly recreated.
Still potentially annoying for users of modding tools like ToolBox, FeaturePlacer,...

example:
{
            name = "SpringBrickcraft.sdd",
            path = [[C:\Spiele\springcontent\games\]],
            modified = "1357224124",
            checksum = "2784258217",
            archivedata = {
                description = "Brick-Craft FUCK YEAH",
                game = "BrickCraft",
                modtype = 1,
                name = "BrickCraft Brick-Craft S D D dev",
                shortgame = "BC",
                shortname = "BC",
                version = "Brick-Craft S D D dev",
                depend = {
                    "cursors.sdz",
xxx "Spring Features",
                },
            },
        },

xxx = if that line is not in modinfo.lua anymore, it should also not be in ArchiveCache.lua anymore

Changing modinfo.lua dependencies doesn't reset cache

Notes
~0009784 Kloot (developer) 2013-02-13 16:31	Sounds like a Windows filesystem issue. ArchiveScanner always compares an archive's (for example an .sdd dir) last modification time to the timestamp value in ArchiveCache (if it exists), and if they don't match the archive and its dependency list from mod/mapinfo are read from the archive (instead of from the cache) and the cache will be rewritten --> dead dependencies get cleaned up automatically. Therefore this can only happen if the OS does not update a directory's modification time when a file inside it changes.
