[Zope] md5sums of modules

[Gauges, Ralph]

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 saw similar messages recently in the "zope-dev" mailing list.

I would sent a message to "<mailto:webmaster at zope.org>".
He may be able to fix the wrong MD5-fingerprints.
