But this is not how the Fedora workflow works. And please also note that I did not make the policies, I am just trying to explain why they are the way they are. And I suspect that there are several other distributions that work similarly. > Two people running git archive on the same commit or tag will produce the > same uncompressed stream (including GitHub), but not necessarily the same > compressed stream. It was found that in practice, requesting the same tag from GitHub multiple times gives byte-identical tar.gz output. (Unfortunately, GitHub cannot deliver better compressions.) Of course this might break if they upgrade their gzip, but nothing is perfect.
