I think gzip includes the modification time of the included file. If the modification time of the created hdr files were set to that of the rpm itse= lf, gzip would always yield the same result, and it would also make rsyncing/caching the hdr files even simpler! :) --=20 Axel.Thimm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx --MGYHOYXEY6WxJCY8 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+rUmeQBVS1GOamfERAmlBAJwK9i9SnKMFstrhxSvgDTiYdaqj2ACePSSh o0tubm1dfyDYc3CpW74Ajk0= =BZ/1 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --MGYHOYXEY6WxJCY8--
