> I hate to say this, but what's the point of spkg checksums ''inside an
spkg''? To me, it looks pointless to add a checksum within the file that
you're checksumming.
For detecting download corruption it's quite useful. Basically all error
detecting and correcting codes are based on sending the "checksum"
together with the data.
