[blfs-dev] Lynx 2.8.8 in BLFS 7.5 - silent version change?

2014-06-20 Thread David Brodie

Hi

The file I have just downloaded today has failed a checksum test, the 
actual checksum being as follows:



md5sum lynx2.8.8.tar.bz2

b231c2aa34dfe7ca25681ef4e55ee7e8  lynx2.8.8.tar.bz2

rather than f467c043fe9a3963fc1c05f54923803f as stated in the BLFS 7.5 book.

Further investigation reveals that the CHANGES file in the source root 
folder states that the current version is now 2014-03-09 (2.8.8rel.2) 
(currently the version in the Development Book), rather than the 
original release. The download location is still 
http://lynx.isc.org/lynx2.8.8/lynx2.8.8.tar.bz2 (or the same as ftp:)


David

I confirm that the above lynx2.8.8 is the same as in svn.

The one in BLFS 7.5 can be found here:

http://anduin.linuxfromscratch.org/sources/BLFS/7.5/l/lynx2.8.8.tar.bz2

and has the md5sum as in the book 7.5.

New entry in the errata, perhaps?

It's pretty crappy that upstream changes the underlying file for a link.

lfs-7.5 assumes lynx2.8.8rel.1.tar.bz2, but the web page points to 
lynx2.8.8rel.2.tar.bz2.  I guess they are too lazy to update the web 
page.  We've already updated the -dev version of BLFS to point to the 
full filename.


The upstream url for lfs-7.5 should be

http://lynx.isc.org/current/lynx2.8.8rel.1.tar.bz2

There is no actual lynx2.8.8.tar.bz2.
