Hi all,
I want to know that is there really any compulsion on posting
md5sum instead sha1sum? Review Guidelines said "Reviewers should use
md5sum for this task." I have started posting sha1sum for source in
package review.
That part of the review guidelines has always struck me as bizarre.
After all, wouldn't it seem even better to compare the actual tarballs
with each other, byte-by-byte, than relying on a checksum ?
