Package: cfv Version: 1.18-2.2 Severity: wishlist Some friends of mine run FreeBSD, and therefore had checksum files produced by their md5 command. The default output is already supported, but using the switch -r it outputs something that's almost but not quite identical to md5sum. Example:
md5 $(which md5) => "MD5 (/sbin/md5) = 18eacbe50f75f0221195d16a5967bf7e" md5 -r $(which md5) => "18eacbe50f75f0221195d16a5967bf7e /sbin/md5" As far as I can tell, all that's needed to support verification of such files is changing [ *] to [ *]? in this regex (class MD5): _foosum_rem=re.compile(r'([0-9a-fA-F]{32}) ([ *])([^\r\n]+)[\r\n]*$') Writing, however, would require an additional switch. The difference is merely the absence of the text/binary specifier (either a space or *, always written as * by cfv). The -r switch (for FreeBSD) is poorly documented. Apparently NetBSD has the same function as -n. The OpenBSD man page says that it matches cksum, which uses yet another format. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.18-4-k7 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=sv_SE.ISO-8859-15, LC_CTYPE=sv_SE.ISO-8859-15 (charmap=ISO-8859-15) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages cfv depends on: ii python 2.4.4-2 An interactive high-level object-o ii python-support 0.6.3 automated rebuilding support for p Versions of packages cfv recommends: ii bittorrent 3.4.2-10 Scatter-gather network file transf -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
