Read my lips: if they do differ, that's only in the "timestamp" field. diff shows such files as different, but closer inspection proves that there are no functional differences. Further: the serialized bytecode is strictly speaking identical. > So, usually, they don't differ, but not always.

It's normal that different builders produce non-identical rpm files out of noarch specs. It's most common for %{BUILDTIME} and files' mtime to vary. With py[co] contents it's the same situation. The important thing is that a packages built on various builders are functionally equivalent, that is, can be freely interchanged between all archs. -- Paweł Sakowski <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PLD Linux Distribution _______________________________________________ pld-devel-en mailing list pld-devel-en@lists.pld-linux.org http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/listinfo/pld-devel-en
