Well, the check at runtime can be disabled, but the fact that there will be hashes in all packages to update every time we bump a package is not something that can be "disabled". I am not talking from an user point of view, but from a maintenance point of view. I think in the past we talked about that with Peter and our opinions was that it wasn't worth it. Now, I guess that if there are sufficiently convincing arguments, we can change our minds :) Regards, Thomas -- Thomas Petazzoni, Free Electrons Kernel, drivers, real-time and embedded Linux development, consulting, training and support. http://free-electrons.com
