[pacman-dev] [PATCH v3 1/1] be_sync: use effective URL for db file

Christian Hesse list at eworm.de
Thu Oct 16 11:54:17 UTC 2014


From: Christian Hesse <mail at eworm.de>

If download server is dynamic mirror chances are that db file download
and db file signature download are redirected to different mirrors,
resulting in invalid signature.
This uses effective URL for db file signature download and makes the
files always match.
