Hi, Well, as always, when there's an established practice I'd like a stronger reason than "it would probably be good" to change it ;) I see what you mean, but I don't know that the GNU md5 is any more prevalent than the BSD md5 or vice versa...
Maven format is the one we should use in Jakarta ;-)
Probably the discussion must be moved to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that the whole jakarta uses the same format and that we write a description of the format to use somewhere (if not yet done).

For example here are the outputs of the various signing tools we use at this time:
BSD md5:
md5 commons-collections-3.1.jar
MD5 (commons-collections-3.1.jar) = d1dcb0fbee884bb855bb327b8190af36
while the GNU md5 script generates the following:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] jars]$ md5sum commons-collections-3.1.jar d1dcb0fbee884bb855bb327b8190af36 commons-collections-3.1.jar
And maven just generates and uses: d1dcb0fbee884bb855bb327b8190af36
Yes, the nice thing about BSD md5 is that the -r can be used to make it look like the GNU md5sum output, it would probably be good if we
started
to use this as it will be more prevalent and possibly is the closest
one
can get to a standard:
md5 -r commons-collections-3.1.jar
d1dcb0fbee884bb855bb327b8190af36 commons-collections-3.1.jar

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.

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
