[squeak-dev] excessive MC downloads bug

Hi All,

   more whitewash... I have a theory about the bug whereby one...

1. commits a package to a remote repository
2. opens the repository, browses the package and finds that MC downloads
the package again even though its just been written to package-cache.


Is it that when the package is uploaded to the remote repository it is
generated again and hence has a different UUID from the one in
package-cache?  Hence when looking for a version the system rejects the one
in package-cache because it has a different UUID?

If this is so the fix is simple; when copying a package from one repository
to another, the *existing file* should be copied, not regenerated.  That's
got to be better right?  Less work all round.

Eliot
