MD5 hashes are all but unreadable, however, and revision numbers although bit better, not as good as formal release identifiers. Hashes may for automatic change detection, but may also produce false alarms (different compilers, versions, producing slightly varying bytecodes?). Revision numbers do allow syncing back to source tree, but it's bit laborious to track those back to actual release version numbers.
So solution(s) to use are closely related to problems being solved. Hashes probably wouldn't be optimal for all use cases? -+ Tatu +- ----- Original Message ---- From: sebb <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: HttpComponents Project <[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, June 10, 2007 4:54:59 AM Subject: Re: version detection ideas (was: Re: publishing sources to the maven-repo) ...
