We know package syncs are never going to be instantaneous, but the design of the pkg server infrastructure and client d= oes not allow the client to install from a consistent snapshot (or even recogni= ze the condition of an inconsistent sync status). A better design would be to use content-addressed names on the server (i.e., some hash). If the client gets a 404 error, it knows it has a stale index = and must re-fetch metadata (automatically). If the client does not get a 404, = it will get exactly the file it asked for (modulo HTTP layer corruption) and t= he size check will not fail anyway. Debian talks about something like this: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~cjwatson/blog/no-more-hash-sum-mismatch-= errors.html --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
