In theory, should they produce the same final koboroot file or not?

Can I add something here? Hopefully it might save someone else some wasted time and energy.
I have had no success whatsoever trying to compare 2 different copies of KoboRoot.tgz using a checksum utility. Even if I run kobopatch twice with identical settings the 2 KoboRoot.tgz files will give different checksums.
To do a useful comparison I have always needed to unpack the contents of KoboRoot.tgz before running the checksum utility on each of the constituent files:
- nickel
- libnickel.so.1.0.0
- librmsdk.so.1.0.0
- libadobe.so
I don't know why the above is true. I always assumed it must be something to do with slight variations during the zipping-up process.
