[ Brent reminded me of a previous message he sent to this list with an approach based on checksums from the packing list [1] ] On Tue, Dec 21, 2004 at 11:21:40PM -0500, Brent Verner wrote: > See an earlier email I sent today.

If we don't need the diff feature (to help user merge the changes), then this is an efficient approach. The only problem I see here is that the whole packing list will be checked for md5 conformance when we only need information regarding the configuration files. Still I don't think it's a big flaw...
