Has there been any thought given to the idea of using the ELF comparison at publish time so that when a file is published with the same ELF content as a file that is already in the repository, no new file would be created in the repository, and the action would be set so that the hashval is the same as the existing file? This would eliminate the need for having ELF hashes in actions and would still get the benefit of reducing downloads for "unchanged" ELF files, while at the same time eliminating this problem of having files on different systems that are both the "same" and "different" (depending on how the files are compared).
That sounds like an excellent solution. -- Chris Gerhard. __o __o __o Systems TSC, Sun Service _`\<,`\<,`\<,_ Sun Microsystems Limited (*)/---/---/ (*) Phone: +44 (0) 1252 426033 (ext 26033) http://blogs.sun.com/chrisg _______________________________________________ pkg-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/pkg-discuss
