Dear Gromacs Developers, I'm trying to install the 2018.8 version of GROMACS through the Spack package manager (https://spack.io). They have packaged GROMACS, but I have noticed a SHA256 checksum mismatch. They have '3776923415df4bc78869d7f387c834141fdcda930b2e75be979dc59ecfa6ebec' on file, while the file I have downloaded from your site directly (and verified by the md5sum available there) has '776923415df4bc78869d7f387c834141fdcda930b2e75be979dc59ecfa6ebecf'. Although I strongly doubt that any attacker could come up with a counterfeit package having a checksum so very close to the original one, and suspect that this is simply a typo from the Spack package maintainers, I would like to ask your opinion about this, just to be on the safe side (avoiding accidental malware infections like what happened previously https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-cask/issues/33536).
