Like I said before - not crazy about a lenth checksum b/c it really isn't. I have 2 thoughts on this one patch: 1. we might as well and write it with hashlib now instead of sha directly, just for future preparation. 2. would it make any sense to make the 'checksum' of the repomd be the checksum of the concatenation of the repomd object's checksums? That way the actual repomd.xml FILE doesn't matter, just the data that it is carrying. -sv _______________________________________________ Yum-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.dulug.duke.edu/mailman/listinfo/yum-devel
