For the mirroring setup with opendarwin we are going to need MD5s for all packages. I'm going to make fink refuse to unpack packages with no MD5 specified. It has been a warning in validate for a while.
Maintainers, please add MD5s to everything that does not have it. There are quite a few packages in unstable that do not have them.
ok ok, if people really object to this, perhaps I could exclude trees other than unstable and stable? (not sure if a package even knows what tree its in.. i could grep the path to the info file, though)
Well, just going to the list and announcing "Hey folks, I am going to change Fink so that a couple dozen packages won't work anymore" w/o getting a prior consent isn't a very good idea in my eyes. I guess you talked about this on IRC, but for major change like this it would be nice if at the very least the Fink admings (RR, drm and me) were notified first. Also, posting a link to the channel logs with the discussion would be good. best would be to lead the discussion on the mailing list, or give a summary of it here.
I think this is the right thing on the long term, but *not* something that should be done from one day to the next. Rather, first the offending packages should be determined, and their maintainers kicked one last time. Then we can make this change. And yeah I realize that any change in CVS will only be visible with the next PM release.
