This can be problematic, as long as the common ext3 filesystem only supports integral seconds as timestamp resolution. Effectively, this makes a perfect mirror impossible. Here's an example from today's repomd.xml: <data type="updateinfo"> <location href="repodata/1c2513043bd6a0e22bfda890ac065458a855b49f3e465a371943a2a941d4d139-updateinfo.xml.gz"/> <checksum type="sha256">1c2513043bd6a0e22bfda890ac065458a855b49f3e465a371943a2a941d4d139</checksum> <timestamp>1369838032.72</timestamp> <open-checksum type="sha256">65e3ef0a5e4378ab157acd2a6926b6ffda0d9fa687ad5e90d23a62ca636cfbbc</open-checksum> </data> Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Get http://download.opensuse.org/update/12.3/repodata/repomd.xml 2. grep timestamp.*\\. repomd.xml Actual Results: <timestamp>1369838032.72</timestamp> <timestamp>1369838033.13</timestamp> <timestamp>1369838043.66</timestamp> <timestamp>1369838043.86</timestamp> Expected Results: No matches I did not see this until recently. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
