[Gimp-developer] Bogus/corrupted GIMP 2.6.2 distribution file

2008-10-31 Thread David Evans
As the current maintainer for GIMP on MacPorts, I wanted to report that
we had an incident this morning where the file checksums (md5, sha1,
rmd160)  for the new 2.6.2 gimp distribution on one of the GIMP mirrors

http://gimp.site2nd.org/v2.6/

failed to match those of the official GIMP site and the other mirrors for that
matter.[1]

The offending site has been removed from our list of GIMP mirrors but I thought
that someone in the GIMP developer community might want to know about it 
as it could represent a possible attack.

Hope this is the right forum for this.

I have removed this site from the mirrors list in svn (the update of the
site might take some time, though). It looks like it is just redirecting
to ftp.gimp.org, though...

That's what I see too so maybe the problem is in the redirection. Maybe
MacPorts isn't handling that well.
So what's the good of a mirror site that just redirects to the master?
