I hope you dont target me here - I did quickly come up with a patch; might be my patch is not yet perfect, but for that I posted it here for further discussion; also Rainer posted some better approach, and this combined with my patch should generate same format regardless what platform the release manager is on. All what's needed is that we commonly agree to the one or the other format, then we can fix roll.sh quickly.

Once you pointed me to the release script I realized that the format was *not* your personal choice. Also I dont expect any re-roll. Although I hate to re-invent the wheel - from my point of view we have a huge demand to provide a standard checksum format + I think it wouldnt be bad to provide own checksum tools which compile on every platform ... will shortly post what I've found so far - but need to do some tests first ... Gün.
