Actually, I'm expecting them to. That's the problem I'm trying to figure out. If the same package is republished at a different repository, it should still have the same id shouldn't it? I'm intentionally trying to ensure that it happens. In fact, one of the topics brought up on that "diveinto" article is ensuring the rss entries that are re-published at an aggregator somewhere else still have the same id. -- Shawn Walker _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
