Hi, All! *waving* tl;dr :: Mine FINALLY passed, too. AND... there appear to be 3 potential date changes on that same file name since yesterday early afternoon. The last change was in the last couple hours. New md5sum values may possibly be arising along with..... The very long version........... Been offline AGAIN for another 10 days. Now that I'm back AGAIN, LFS was calling out.. AGAIN. I have tried to come at this from every angle I thought I might be missing. Up until a few seconds ago, mine was still not passing, either. *One* file finally did pass a run through md5sum just now. It was my original file from yesterday, and it passed with the "a1" version taken from r11715 and r11716. Well, that and I've relearned about running md5sum on my end, too. That also THANKFULLY presented the now successfully matching "a1". Decided to write because I just had a half-baked ah-ha moment, kinda-sorta. I made the executive decision to keep the failed files until I was sure everything was copacetic. Number One, I got a tiny size difference for "ls -ld": 6585651 Dec 29 22:37 python-3.8.1-docs-html-md5sumFAIL1.tar.bz2 6585453 Dec 30 22:35 python-3.8.1-docs-html-md5sumFAIL2.tar.bz2 6585453 Dec 30 22:35 python-3.8.1-docs-html.tar.bz2 After looking at those about 10 times today. I also just noticed those timestamps. Those last two were done today, the 31st so there's MY sign that there might be something afoot. It FEELS LIKE we might be chasing a tiny bit of a moving target here... kind of like some number of us have learned on the fly regarding lfs-bootscripts-20191031.tar.xz's propensity for change. LOL! The two December 30th files are still failing md5sum checks. Running md5sum on them gets this for both *for me*: 50814290446a9f90965c54de90a187bb Also just now got the *bright idea* to extract those three archives... and run diff on them. It went nuts. I've done that with other directories with all kinds of changes and not had it go wide open like that. Top of the query did note those same date differences as part of the files' changed information. Yes, I do understand that it's apples and oranges to try and compare that outcome to anything I might generate in personal computing. :) In pursuing this, I'm getting 404 (Gone to Atlanta) for those URL changes in r11715 and r11716. I'll try that again later to figure out what I'm missing there. I'm ready to rock-and-roll (!) now that the md5sums all match! Am mentioning the 404 Page Not Found because the file that's NOT marked "FAIL", that still bears its original name came from backing up the parent directory tree on one of those 404'ed URLs until it hit a live repository. That file is one of the two that's bearing the "bb" md5sum *for me* right now after it was gathered from following r11715 and r11716. That minor detail feels worth noting because it wasn't gathered by simply repeatedly following the same URL from wget-list instead.... Which NEXT just caused me to think that my files came from two different locations. Maybe if there's (presumably) manual labor in updating all of that, some of us maybe got caught in a nanosecond update differential of some kind: * From LFS' wget-list https://www.python.org/ftp/python/doc/3.8.1/python-3.8.1-docs-html.tar.bz2 * From backing up Python's 404'ed URL https://docs.python.org/3/archives/python-3.8.1-docs-html.tar.bz2 Having the thought to provide those may have just paid off. There's now a *December 31st* timestamp on that second docs.python.org lead. If I wasn't on dialup, I'd trooper up and download that JUST to run md5sum again to see what happens. LOL! And NOW... I'm throwing in the towel. I went to those pages ONE more last time. The URL from wget-list... has a December 18 date on their webpage... AND a size of "6527362" whereas the December 31st date change at least still matches the "6585453" size. That's it. I'm done. I'm over it. Mine matched!! It's time to revive user LFS and do some compiling before the clock ticks on down to midnight tonight. :) Afterthought: In case it matters for any reason, these days I get my md5sums, wget-lists, and books from: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/downloads/development/ Had a rough time finding an alternative URL for Vim but DID eventually find one. Never did find one for Python. That's how all these various minuscule notables started becoming apparent.
