Ok, but it appears sometimes rpms are updated without a version/release number bump? I periodically see drpmsync pull over deltas with no change to the repodata. This can sometimes happen a couple days in a row, then finally a big push comes and the repodata is updated. A case in point, on my ia64 factory box, openssh-4.2p1-18 is installed. It requires libopensc.so.1, but the openssh rpm in factory with the same version/release number now requires libopensc.so.2. # rpm -q openssh openssh-4.2p1-18 # rpm -q --requires openssh | grep opensc libopensc.so.1()(64bit) # rpm -qp --requires openssh-4.2p1-18.ia64.rpm | grep opensc libopensc.so.2()(64bit) Why no version/release number change to the rpm, though the requirements and what it was built against changed? I would expect at least the release number to get bumped if the contents of the build root changed.
