Some beta users asked how to verify their downloads. Others didn't
know the checksum used SHA-256 instead of SHA-1. As a first step,
adding a link to the /verify page might help.
It's not the best, as users would have to find the *-CHECKSUM file
manually. This is mitigated a little because the verify page states
"to verify your ISO, start by downloading the proper CHECKSUM file
into the same directory as the ISO."
If we need to be more explicit, we could add links to the CHECKSUM
files on get-prerelease, but that page is already a bit cluttered.
Anyone opposed to adding the /verify link for now? Or does anyone
see a problem with how I've done it here? I don't know the templating
stuff very well, so I could be doing it all wrong. The site did
build for all languages with this applied, which seems like a good
sign. :)

Looks good to me, thanks! Make sure to push this to the f12-beta
branch, so it'll go live (and then get into master when we merge into
that).
Thanks,

Imho the link should go to the https version of the page to make it more
likely that people use the https link, e.g. when they bookmark the page
for later use.

This is true. It's a change that would need to be made to the
get-fedora and verify pages as well, since both use similar code in
the templates that don't enforce https. I think I might have done
this origianlly (I had the /verify patch laying around since the last
release), but it may have caused issues with templating and/or
translating?
Anyone that knows more about the templating and translating would be
awesome if they could chime in with some advice on how to do this
properly.

I guess an absolute URL can't be avoided if we want https, so
something
like this might work:
<p class="note">${Markup(_('After downloading an ISO, <a
href="https://fedoraproject.org/%s/%s/verify">verify&...
it.') % (path, lang))}</p>
At some point, we can probably wrap making links like this in a function
letting you choose between https/http and absolute vs. relative.
Thanks,

I stripped off the / before %s, as in my testing path always expanded
to include the leading slash (and a URL with a unnessecary // in it
just looks ugly). If it's not a safe to assume that path always has a
leading /, I can add it back or see about using some python to strip
it when needed.
