Hi,

I noticed that your MD5 sums on your website are not all formatted 
correctly. I specifically downloaded the Tomcat 5.0.27 MD5 file, and 
found this out. Not that its a big deal or anything like that, but 
itd be good to have the MD5 properly formatted, that is the MD5 sum 
and then the file name


Thanks,

I am not sure that is a good idea:

-bash-2.05b$ openssl md5  toto
MD5(toto)= efd6b079984c77cd80254ff266e9ab43

And looking in the Jakarta Binary downloads I have found that a lot of other 
MD5 file are using the Tomcat format.

Hi,
The format I use for MD5 sums is the standard one.  Every other project
I know uses this format, so I think if anything this user needs to
adjust his preferences ;)  However, if there's a standard or spec
somewhere that mandates we use md5 -r (reverse output format), then
sure, someone point me to it and I'll follow that spec when signing
releases.

2004-08-10 Thread Mark R. Diggory
This is the md5 output generated by BSD md5 and not necessarily a 
standard, GNU md5sum generates a different format that is not 
standard as well. For maven, just the checksum portion of the content 
is stored in the file.

It would be nice if there was a standard in this area, but I have yet to 
see one in the internet community. We have the same problem with 
generating md5 checksums for the maven repository at the moment.

For example here are the outputs of the various signing tools we use at

BSD md5:
 md5 commons-collections-3.1.jar
MD5 (commons-collections-3.1.jar) = d1dcb0fbee884bb855bb327b8190af36
while the GNU md5 script generates the following:

Yes, the nice thing about BSD md5 is that the -r can be used to make it

Re: Fwd: md5 sums for jakarta downloads

2004-08-10 Thread Mark R. Diggory
Yes, well, I actually do not think much thought has gone into this 
subject at Apache, until know I think perople have thought the .md5 file 
format was a standard or something.

I've been researching md5 applications in terms of attempting to make a 
recommendation to the repository group on the appropriate format to use 
in the ASF Repository project.

To date my research shows that both applications support the GNU 
checksum filename.ext format when performing a md5sum  (GNU) or cksum 
(BSD) check against the file/md5 pair. And that the GNU version of 
md5sum cannot handle the BSD's default md5 format.

Since BSD cksum can read the GNU format, BSD md5 can produce the GNU 
format, and installations of the GNU toolkit and that md5 file format 
are much more prevalent than BSD and its format, then my recommendation 
is that would be the appropriate format to use for the time being.

Its quite clear that the majority of the computers on the internet are 
not BSD systems, no matter how great the OS is ;-). IMHO, the decision 
for the appropriate md5 file format should be based on what applications 
require in the real world, not on which servers Apache actually uses in 
production.

Hi,
The format I use for MD5 sums is the standard one.  Every other

 project

I know uses this format, so I think if anything this user needs to
adjust his preferences ;)  However, if there's a standard or spec
somewhere that mandates we use md5 -r (reverse output format), then
sure, someone point me to it and I'll follow that spec when signing
releases.

Hi,



I noticed that your MD5 sums on your website are not all

 formatted

correctly.  I specifically downloaded the Tomcat 5.0.27 MD5
file,


and


found this out.  Not that it's a big deal or anything like that,

 but

it'd be good to have the MD5 properly formatted, that is the MD5

 sum

and then the file name...


I am not sure that is a good idea:
+++
-bash-2.05b$ openssl md5  toto
MD5(toto)= efd6b079984c77cd80254ff266e9ab43
+++

And looking in the Jakarta Binary downloads I have found that a

 lot


of


other
MD5 file are using the Tomcat format.




Thanks,



Andy Mudrak
