Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
Admittedly, my first incentive for getting this in was for the use of
jhalfs, and even then when I brought up the idea, all I wanted was a
static MD5SUMS file. See this thread:
http://archives.linuxfromscratch.org/mail-archives/lfs-
dev/2006-May/057026.html
Since we provide direct links to upstream tarballs now, having a md5sum
available is a nice extra for the users. They can confirm that they're
getting the same package the devs got. Of course it's not necessary, but
it may be useful to many.
jhalfs will greatly benefit from it. And since it is designed partly as a
tool to help devs build and test quicker and more accurately, I think it's
justified. You may want to consider it for CLFS as well, since jhalfs now
includes a module to build that, too.
