We actually document that --if-newer can only be used in build mode.
It sort of makes no sense in prepare mode. So shouldn't this just
give an error (either here, or earlier) if we're in prepare mode?
Should we error out, or simply ignore it like done for other options
specific to a certain mode (eg --host-cpu)?
Your note also made me discover a bug related to that option:
(on Fedora)
$ touch filesystem
$ supermin --prepare -o foo --if-newer -v filesystem
supermin: version: 5.2.0
supermin: rpm: detected RPM version 4.15
supermin: rpm: detected RPM architecture x86_64
supermin: package handler: fedora/rpm
supermin: prepare: filesystem
[etc..]
$ supermin --prepare -o foo --if-newer -v filesystem
supermin: version: 5.2.0
supermin: rpm: detected RPM version 4.15
supermin: rpm: detected RPM architecture x86_64
supermin: package handler: fedora/rpm
supermin: if-newer: output does not need rebuilding
