It's probalby not practical to generate an archive with consistently identical checksums due to the various timestamps (at least without adding a tar writer to svn which would be kind of cool. :) > Maybe we can also have some variables to control that we actually want > the 'HEAD' revision without checking any checksum.

While this wasn't the intent of the -DBOOTSTRAP stuff I added to the llvm port, people are finding it useful so if we can find I clean way to support this I think it would be cool. -- Brooks --3V7upXqbjpZ4EhLz Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFK+J0wXY6L6fI4GtQRAu6TAJ9KOQ50LRjUtaXOF/079ps8YgfvPQCgur4d sD8UxglZ/dmZJpq5sZ+tR4A= =dhC8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --3V7upXqbjpZ4EhLz--
