Yeah. When you use rust or (the command line rust, 'crust') to
initialize a 'newroot' you can use to chroot to, you select whether or
not you wish to use md5sums.
They are used to compare existing binaries - in cases where your install
may overwrite any files that were copied over to the chroot home.
Without the md5sum, rust won't be able to tell if a file was overwritten
- it will therefore only include new files and directories in the rpm.
If you're using the rust GUI, you can select whether to use md5sums
using the New Root-> Use md5 sum check box. If you're using crust, then
there is a --nomd5 switch to turn them off. The important thing is to
either use or not use md5sums for both the initialization and the rpm
creation.
I know that the fact that the default behavior (with or without md5s)
differ is a little weird but it's basically because I figured you
wouldn't need the md5s when you're just drag&drop creating an rpm and
they really slow things down.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
HTH,
