A server side hook would at a minimum be able to checksum files and generate manifest entries; I doubt it's even possible to do though (most pre-commit scripts don't let you touch the files being commited, although I'm no expert on CVS). Current Scenario: Commit Ebuild Checksum ebuild Commit Manifest The worst part is that for those crazy people who want the entire tree signed: Commit ebuild Checksum ebuild Commit Package Manifest Checksum Package Manifest Commit Category Manifest Checksum Category Manifest Commit Tree-wide Manifest Checksum Tree-Wide Manifest and put it somewhere as a verification of the entire tree at time T. Notice now there are 4 commits instead of two, because each commit in sequence requires the $header$ to be updated (which in itself requires a commit). Yay! -Alec -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Another idea: the revision could be part of the ChangeLog - a monotonically increasing number for every change. added by whoever writes the ChangeLog message... ...which is a rather big change, but could be scripted through echangelog and family... kind regards Thilo pgpKxGGfgr50j.pgp Description: PGP signature

In the case of GIT you can just use 'git diff SHA1SUM' to see what has changed or 'git log SHA1SUM..HEAD' to show a list of revisions in between. So _if_ we changed to git, this would be no problem as long as every user has sha1sum installed [which is part of coreutils].

In practice I find it's rare that a user has been hacking around in the eclasses. All the SHA1 tells you is that it's not the most recent, but it's not easy to determine from the SHA1 exactly which version they do have (so it's not enough to determine what's different). Having said that, the most accurate way to find out what they have is to get them to attach the eclass and diff it yourself. However relying on the SHA1 also means you can't just say things like, "Check eclass is version 1.836 (look at the "$Header" line at the top of the file)." -- Kevin F.

This can be done using checksum like SHA1 much better, as people can edit their ebuilds/eclasses/profiles and forget/lie about it, and still have the same $Headers$ line.

FWIW, I've used the $Header $ to determine if a person is looking at the latest greatest or needs to synch up first (in particular when I was dealing with an eclass bug).
