I'd second that. From a user perspective, it feels wrong to have
different (e.g.) lfs-bootscripts-$date.tar.xz with the same $date but
different checksums out there, even if we know about the source of that.
It would be nicer to either have only one such master per day or some
other kind of uniqueness like *-$date_$machine or *-$date_$time for each
archive that needs its own timestamp/checksum...
OK, I fixed it, but note that the md5sums file on the mirrors was
consistent with the files there.
