--- Comment #13 from Dominique Leuenberger
But unlike repomd, susetags has no 'type' tag indicating the files role. So everything relies on the file name. If you plan to change it, you should get in touch with the zypp-maintainers before releasing. And probably also with the maintainer of other tools mirroring repos (SMT, SUMA e.g).
yes - let's time travel back to like May - when this was changed in Tumbleweed on request of the mirror maintainers. Obviously it was not sufficiently thought about what else relies on those files, but not serving them from download.o.o greatly improved performance (I had to admit, I only had appstream based apps like discover and gnome-software on my radar for verification - those both use the appdata information from /var/cache/app-info/xmls, which is installed there by libzypp-plugin-appdata. That one obviously had been corrected to live with the new filenames containing a hash -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
