Hello, today, I've accidentally attested there are no stability guarantees with the on-demand archives from common git hosting sites when preparing a new pacemaker update, redownloading "spectool -s 0 pacemaker.spec" of the original (-0.1.rc1, from 2 weeks ago) spec and comparing the hashes, which (surprisingly to me) didn't match (they were at any similar test in the past). Then I looked at the adiff output: > diff -ru Unpack-2241/pacemaker-Pacemaker-1.1.17-rc1/configure.ac Unpack-6255/pacemaker-Pacemaker-1.1.17-rc1/configure.ac > --- Unpack-2241/pacemaker-Pacemaker-1.1.17-rc1/configure.ac2017-05-09 00:55:15.000000000 +0200 > +++ Unpack-6255/pacemaker-Pacemaker-1.1.17-rc1/configure.ac2017-05-09 00:55:15.000000000 +0200 > @@ -1159,7 +1159,7 @@ > AC_PATH_PROGS(GIT, git false) > AC_MSG_CHECKING(build version) > > -BUILD_VERSION=0459f40 > +BUILD_VERSION=0459f40958 > if test != ":%h$"; then > AC_MSG_RESULT(archive hash: ) for configure.ac that indeed has export-subst git attribute set and the change itself arises from "$Format:%h$" substitution. This likely means GitHub was internally updated to use equivalent of git 2.11 feature of abbreviation length autoscaling within last 14 days. Hope this will be useful for some (e.g. fedora-review tool has a check to redownload and diff sources against SRPM content, IIRC). -- Jan (Poki)
