checksums are a worthy goal as well. How does debian do it? Something like: SourceN-MD5: 16445e2a10aa48a0fda36868270ef5c2 should do the trick for Fink. Of course i suppose we'd have to update every package, but that should be easily scriptable. Hmm, i don't see a feature request for this... is there a reason not? -Ben -- http://homepage.mac.com/bhines/ _______________________________________________________________ Have big pipes?
