Hello, It would be nice if we could get a full list of packages which have a wrong sha1 checksum. I don't have the bandwidth for a full mirror of all of Dag's rpms and i also don't have shell access to such a mirror. So a small request for a mirror admin: The following checks the files repodata/*.xml.gz against the sha1 sums in repomd.xml and checks the RPMS/*.rpm files against the sha1 sums in primary.xml.gz. Can you run this on the repodata files of at least the el4-i386 rpms? If possible: on every distro/arch combination found in Dag's repo :-) example: cd /mybigmirror/apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag/ # should have the same contents as http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el4/en/i386/dag/ xsltproc repomdtoshasum.xslt repodata/repomd.xml | sha1sum -c gunzip -c repodata/primary.xml.gz | xsltproc primarytoshasum.xslt - | sha1sum -c Those xslt files are in attach and you probably need to add a path to those xslt files. They're only quick hacks but they seem to work on a couple of rpms on my pc. It might be interesting to capture the output of both commands, for example: xsltproc repomdtoshasum.xslt repodata/repomd.xml | sha1sum -c >> output.txt 2>&1 gunzip -c repodata/primary.xml.gz | xsltproc primarytoshasum.xslt - | sha1sum -c >> output.txt 2>&1 Of course this is far from perfect: it doesn't check the .hdr files, apt config or old yum config stuff.. but it might give the list of rpm packages with a wrong checksum so we can ask heanet to check those files. thanks in advance!
