| 3 | That's not legal. rsync1 generates the metadata, and if rsync1 doesn't |
| 4 | have linux-2.6*, then that will be empty, and that is what the end-users |
| 5 | will get as pregenerated data. It is VERY unlikely that it will ever |
| 6 | be regenerated with info from their box. Also, this violates all security |
| 7 | of md5sums. |
