On yet another related note, there a case or two for having a global hash for
the individual files, with no payload induced foobar in it. One case is having
a true "source id" calculated from all the files in an src.rpm, that would be
also planted on any binaries built from these sources. This differs from the
existing sourcepkgid (which is *build* specific) in that it would be
arch-independent for properly written specs. This could be done as a hash of
the existing hashes which is far cheaper than a hash of the actual contents,
but then it'd be dependent on build-configuration which makes it less universal
than a hardwired hash of algorithm X.
Nothing says such a thing would have to be limited to source rpms, which is
where we get back to the deltarpm case: I have no clue about deltarpm's inner
workings, would such a thing be helpful/harmful/moo to the case?
