We use the timestamps in builds to determine a downgrade, which might
not be always the truth. For examples, two builds cut from different
branches may carry timestamps in a reverse order. An incremental package
won't be able to be pushed nor applied, based on the timestamp
comparison.
We used to handle such a case with manual work, by setting the
post-timestamp to (pre-timestamp + 1) in the package metadata. This CL
automates the process by adding a new flag --override_timestamp.
Note that it doesn't change anything in the installed image, but only
affects the assertions for pushing / installing the package.
With the change in this CL:
- If it's a downgrade without any extra flag, fail the package
generation (we only print warnings prior to this CL);
- If it's a downgrade with --downgrade flag, generate a downgrade
package with forced data wipe (same as before);
- If it's a downgrade with --override_timestamp, generate a normal
incremental with hacked timestamp (pre-timestamp + 1) (new in this CL
to avoid the manual change);
- If it's not a downgrade but with any of the above two flags specified,
fail the package generation.
