I have not had access to my Linux computer for 5 weeks due to some personal issues.  ( I am not in jail, LOL! but still married, which is probably worse ).


But every day, I try to read the Rawhide reports and look for subtle easy things that I feel I need to learn, all of which are way way over my 72 I.Q.

For example:

In todays Rawhide email, the package below was compiled for fc34:

Package:      mingw-libidn2-2.3.0-3.fc34
Old package:  mingw-libidn2-2.3.0-3.fc33
Summary:      MinGW Windows Internationalized Domain Name 2008 support library
RPMs:         mingw32-libidn2 mingw32-libidn2-static mingw64-libidn2 mingw64-libidn2-static
Size:         549.89 KiB
Size change:  54 B


First question:   Why would size change 54 B ?    I think I read somewhere that tiny fluctuations happen during a re-compile.   Right ?

Second question:   Why did file-version not change ?   I assume because no code changed.   Right ??


I would be interested in reading a weekly or bi-weekly  or monthly "story" that was interesting to read about what Rawhide offers that 33 does not, or something along those lines.    Like which packages had a huge update, or why a git-version was replaced with a stable-version, etc.


Cheers,
