[Fink-devel] Changed MD5 handling: solved broken SF mirror problem?

[Daniel M. <dm...@ne...>]

I just patched fink in CVS HEAD to check MD5 checksum as each source
tarball is downloaded and treat a mismatch as a download failure. For
the end-user, that means if the download process succeeds but gets the
incorrect file (hello, broken SF mirrors), he will immediately get the
"try next mirror?" options.

This solves a major problem useres are having and I'd love to get it
into the next 0.20.x release, so if people could please test
downloading and re-downloading with various broken and non-broken
sites and let me know if it works...

Thanks,
dan
