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.

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
