Are you sure, this would be the responsibility of the webmaster. I don't know how this is handled by the developers, but I would guess that providing the right md5sums would be the responsibility of the module maintainers. What I was actually rather curious about was if anybody could shed some light on the fight that it is always zeros that are missing from the md5sums, this doesn't really look like coincidence to me. But on the other hand, nothing I have read about md5sums so far suggests that zeros within the sum would be insignificant. It alwas sais that md5sums are 128bit, but actually none of them are because of the leading 0.

I just tried to download several modules for zope. After download I tried to compare their md5sums to those given on the website where I got the modules, but most of them were incorrect. Actually all of them were not the way they are supposed to be as I understand md5sums.

I saw similar messages recently in the "zope-dev" mailing list. I would sent a message to "<mailto:webmaster@zope.org>". He may be able to fix the wrong MD5-fingerprints. Dieter
