Hello all,
I've just noticed there's a mismatch between finkmirrors.net's and
gnu.org's lgpl.txt. Our lgpl.txt in finkmirrors.net:
$ grep " $" lgpl.fink.txt
0. Additional Definitions.
Version.
$
And the one at gnu.org:
$ grep " $" lgpl.gnu.txt
$
leading to
$ diff lgpl.fink.txt lgpl.gnu.txt
13c13
< 0. Additional Definitions.
---
> 0. Additional Definitions.
114c114
< Version.
---
> Version.
$
and different checksums, naturally. I guess the folks at gnu.org fixed
those trailing spaces after our mirroring service grabbed their
lgpl.txt.
What to do?
a) Update lgpl.txt in all our finkmirrors.net servers (not sure how
much work this would entail) and fix md5sum in current package
descriptions that use it. A quick grep tells me there's only two of
them.
b) Fix new package descriptions to use the md5sum of our (with
trailing spaces) lgpl.txt. However, when our mirror infrastructure is
down (rather unlikely, I suppose) packages that need lgpl.txt will
fail the fetch phase because downloading from the original URL will
give an md5sum mismatch.
In my humble opinion we should go with option a. What do you think?
Cheers,
