We checked in rpm 4.7 last week to be compatible with Fedora again
Is this why my FACTORY update today is that large? It seems that basically all packages get updated, even ones that have not seen a change to their sources for a long time like the following (dates in brackets are those of the last ChangeLog entry):
Installing: translation-update-11.1-1.5 [Mar 16 2009] Installing: susehelp_en-2007.08.22-123.4 [May 30 2008] Installing: susehelp_de-2007.08.22-123.4 [May 30 2008]
The package diff shows that the rpm gives different output for RPMVERSION and we currently check for that: compare /.build.oldpackages/susehelp-2007.08.22-123.3.src.rpm /usr/src/packages/SRPMS/susehelp-2007.08.22-123.4.src.rpm --- /tmp/tmp.A7Vh7ktu3w 2009-08-30 15:52:59.000000000 +0000 +++ /tmp/tmp.mGixUc59bs 2009-08-30 15:52:59.000000000 +0000 @@ -17,7 +17,7 @@ <suse@suse.de> GPL v2 or later GPL v2 or later Documentation/SUSE (none) (none) (none) (none) - (none) 4.4.2.3 (none) + (none) 4.7.1 (none) cpio gzip 9

Or would that be something different?
Assuming there are no material changes, would there have been some way to avoid those updates?
The question is whether build-compare should look at the rpm version or not. Coolo, what do you think?
