md5sums of modules
Hi, 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. According to what I read about md5sums, they are supposed to be 128 keys, but all of the keys I found for the module had a leading zero. OK, after removing this leading zero, some of the modules would verify OK, but again most were still wrong, missing some zeros somewhere. Sometimes 0 zero was missing and sometimes it was up to three zeros missing in the key. Other than that, the keys were identical to the ones I generate here with md5sum. Has anybody else noticed this problem? Below I have given the packages I downloaded, the top one is the key generated on my maschine, the one below is the one from the website. Can anybody tell me,why those zeros are missing in some of the keys and why they all do have a leading zero?

Yes, this has been noticed. check the collector - http://collector.zope.org, there's a sectoin for the web site. I believe this bug is reported there already. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com Look! Up in the sky! It's THE STRONG PHLEBOTOMIST! (random hero from isometric.spaceninja.com)

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
This problem is fixed for packages uploaded after the fix :-) For older packages the MD5 will remain in place. -aj --On Mittwoch, 20. August 2003 13:52 Uhr +0200 Ralph Gauges <ralph.gauges@eml.villa-bosch.de> wrote:
