-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 I really hate the fact that md5sum and friends output * for binary files, and blank for text files, when used on cygwin or other platforms where O_TEXT matters. This poor choice of defaults makes 'make sc_immutable_NEWS' fail, because md5sum outputs:
fa6cba1740b3f385520c1b54d90859ca *- and the extra * breaks the check. I'd really like to switch md5sum and friends to match Linux output when O_BINARY, and add a different marker character (but what?) when summing a file in O_TEXT mode, since generally you WANT binary mode to be the default. Thoughts? - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
