Subject: MD5 checksum question
Date: Thu, 21 Jul 2005 01:25:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050721011326.9EB2A83CB3@pessard.research.canon.com.au> (raw)
Does it matter that the top-level setup.ini (that duplicates the MD5
checksums of each package's md5.sum file), does *not* do the same thing
for the setup.hint file in each package directory? I assume the
duplication is to allow the detection of the race condition (mentioned
below).
I only noticed while updating my md5cygchk mirror-checker, to detect the
case where all package md5.sum files are correct but the top-level
setup.ini file is out of sync with the packages below.
(This happens if you rsync a mirror site while the site is being
updated. It leads to the setup.exe error:
"Download Incomplete. Try again?")
I'm assuming the lack of a setup.hint line in each package's entry in
setup.ini doesn't matter.
Regards,
luke
