They might maintain that they don't regenerate them anymore, but if you have older recipe with checksums which were valid 2 years ago you can still be surprised by new checksums (I was 3 times in last year by github.com, last month from few more cases which were still using googlecode.com and direct release URL stopped working). Unfortunately this always happens close (or worse shortly after) our internal release when we switch to different premirror directory and recipes start failing to fetch. -- Martin 'JaMa' Jansa jabber: martin.ja...@gmail.com
