After a spirited discussion on the IRC channel, I have restored the archival functionality and re-factored the following bug to account for items in the discussion.

Please review the attached patch which address the following bug:

Note that this bug is ONLY relevant to the RHEL 6 platform.

The actual bug contains new documentation, a revised sample SRPM which contains the patch and a spec file, and the comments in the bug have been updated to provide ADDITIONAL TESTING instructions.

It would be great to have ACKs for this by early Friday, 06/20/2014, so that I can generate official builds of 'pki-core'.

Thanks,

P. S. - Although the use of check sums was discussed during the IRC session, I utilized the 'cmp' command to perform byte by byte comparisons
          instead since the 'cmp' command will supposedly stop as soon as any difference is detected (thereby reducing the time needed to read
          the entire contents of both files).
