This is not a mistake. The 'Hash: SHA1' line is part of the GPG signature. It has nothing to do with the type of checksum used in the *-CHECKSUM files. Many people mistakenly assume that it does, unfortunately. Perhaps we need to make that clear on the /verify page so folks don't make the flawed assumption that these things are related? If you follow the documentation on https://fedoraproject.org/en/verify all is well, as the page explicitly states that the sha256sum command is what should be used. -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I personally think we developed language because of our deep need to complain. -- Lily Tomlin
