The md5sum of ZIP archives from a fixed check-in changes, when the repository gets some new artifacts.
Maybe the ZIP archives are created with timestamps of the latest repository artifact?

We cannot guaranty byte-for-byte equality when generating file files. Creation of zip files requires a dependency on libz and any change in libz's output could invalidate that guaranty. This was discussed at length in the forum sometime in the past couple of years.
