[freenet-dev] FW: Re2: Partial success

[Simon Porter]

Hey people   Just thought I’d forward this on to the dev list just in case it’s something that should be looked at. The remark was made by Sandworm who is currently working on Frost about why there are duplicate files with the new FEC version.   ----- Sandworm ----- 2003.1.12 - 18:47:34 ----- I've checked the issue with the keys and the explanation may be simple. What I found is that both files are identical and the splitfile metadata has a different key for the last block of the file. This may reasonably be caused by a change of the data beyond EOF sent for generation of the key and put into the chunk file in one of the versions since first upload if the file.   However I still wonder whether we should rely on the sequence of lines in the metadata returned by freenet. A change of the sort order over the versions would result in different keys for the files - not a good idea. We depend on the FEC implementation anyhow, but we probably should not depend on the sort order. I have prepared a version where the splitfile entries are sorted and will test it.   What do you guys suggest? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sandworm - Digging the grounds for a free world PGP key fingerprint: DD5B 782C 37FF 1DF7 2CF3  A944 26CE A571 B8B2 2B82 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
