6.4 is an example where duplicated packages with differnet file-sizes exist (only source-packages so far):
zq1/apache-1.3.17-0.src.rpm and zq1/apache-1.3.19-1.src.rpm
I didn't explain well. With "duplicated" I mean duplicated soft links (comparing .de to .com site) which indeed are the ones it matters (because each soft link is linked to the last version of the real .rpm or at least it should so). Therefore to choose always the latest .rpm you only have to follow the soft links. In the example you chose: lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 23 Apr 18 13:37 apache.spm -> apache-1.3.19-1. src.rpm If .com site has duplicated soft links comparing to .de site they would be overwriten by the one which latest dating. BTW the .spm directory doesn't use to be included in automatized tasks when auto-updating system. Indeed they are not needed in many cases. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= ** RoMaN SoFt / LLFB ** roman@madrid.com http://pagina.de/romansoft ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
