According to current Apache Distribution Policy (recent e-mail from Joshua) we
really suck. This becomes a problem, since we're about to make a release. In
order to get things sorted out I've prepared a hook into mirrors.cgi script.
It is structured as follows:
1. download.cgi (usual wrapper around mirrors.cgi) and download.html
(template) files for directory /www/httpd.apache.org/test/flood/.
2. a patch for mirrors.conf adding template location for
test-flood-download.cgi.
3. a patch for HTML files (index, faq, building) using new download link.
It would be great if somebody could doublechek this and eventually commit this
into apropriate repository. This is much better than closer.cgi script we're
using right now.
regards,
Jacek Prucia

<p>It is essential that you verify the integrity of the downloaded
files using the PGP or MD5 signatures. Please read <a
href="/dev/verification.html">Verifying Apache HTTP Server Releases</a> for
more information on why you should verify our releases. Even when this page
refers to Apache HTTP Server, most of concepts still apply to Flood.</p>
<p>The PGP signatures can be verified using PGP or GPG. First
download the <a href="http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/KEYS";>KEYS</a>
as well as the <code>asc</code> signature file for the particular
distribution. Make sure you get these files from the <a
href="http://www.apache.org/dist/httpd/flood/";>main distribution
directory</a>, rather than from a mirror. Then verify the signatures
using</p>
<p><code>
% pgpk -a KEYS<br />
% pgpv flood-VERSION.tar.gz.asc<br />
</code>
<em>or</em><br />
<code>
% pgp -ka KEYS<br />
% pgp flood-VERSION.tar.gz.asc<br />
</code>
<em>or</em><br />
<code>
% gpg --import KEYS<br />
% gpg --verify flood-VERSION.tar.gz.asc
</code></p>
<ul>
<li>httpd-2.0.47.tar.gz is signed by Jacek Prucia <code>7EFFAEB0</code></li>
</ul>
<p>Alternatively, you can verify the MD5 signature on the files. A
unix program called <code>md5</code> or <code>md5sum</code> is
included in many unix distributions. It is also available as part of
<a href="http://www.gnu.org/software/textutils/textutils.html";>GNU
Textutils</a>. Windows users can get binary md5 programs from <a
href="http://www.fourmilab.ch/md5/";>here</a>, <a
href="http://www.pc-tools.net/win32/freeware/console/";>here</a>, or
<a href="http://www.slavasoft.com/fsum/";>here</a>.</p>
