-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to John Blythe on 4/22/2008 12:27 PM: | Hi, I have just noticed that checking md5 hashes in an correctly | formated md5 file fails on linux if the file | has crlf line terminators.
This has been previously reported (and even some tentative patches provided), but not yet cleanly dealt with. A true fix would also have to encode carriage returns as \r in the md5 output, so that files ending in cr (on platforms that actually allow that) cannot be confused with a change in line terminators. It's been on my TODO list for a long time now, but never percolated to the top. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
