Hi All,
I want see if it's ok to use the md5 of a dir name relative to
INSTALL dir as its ID? I have written a tallow equivalent ant task
which automatically creates my fragment for me as part of my source
build however I find I need to be able to refer to directories which
were created as part of the auto-generated fragments.
My thinking is that MD5 is a 32-character hexadecimal string so it
should fit happily within the 72 chars that id has allocated in the db
column and since its a deterministic derivative of the dir name I can
always work out and refer to the id of any directory in the
autogenerated fragements from within my hand rolles wxs files.
Are there any downsides to this approach? what are the alternatives?
thanks in advance + kind regards,
Kaveh.
