I see, the sha1sum files appear to be claculated on the contents of package.list, not on package.local, which holds files and directories to be backed up. So this should not hurt, or does it? I don't understand your question. This is the logic used to calculate the sha1sums (this is part of the package install logic in linuxrc): #Calculate sha1sum if [ -f $PFX/$f.local ] ; then cat $PFX/$f.local | while read x ; do [ -e $x ] find $x -type f | xargs sha1sum $PFX/$f.sha1 done fi So package.local is used, not package.list The config system is designed to explicitly list files you want to backup and only use directories if you are sure only a specific package uses it.

I meant package.conf not package.list Nope, it's really package.local. Using package.conf would not cover all files that might change.
