Yes, I was planning on publishing hashes, but how is this usually done?
Hash the individual exe's and put the results files into the zipfile
itself? Or hash the whole zipfile and make the hash files a separate
download?
Each "distributable" should have a checksum. So if you publish a zip file,
a checksum for the zipfile is sufficient. (The zip file has its own
internal checksums to guarantee the integrity of the contents.) Since zip
is available for *nix, I don't think you need a separate tarball for us
Linux guys. Within an FTP directory for a given release, provide the zip
file and the two hash files (md5sum and sha1sum).
For comparison, here's the latest sendmail release page:
<http://sendmail.org/8.13.6.html>
Here's the Subversion source download:
<http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ProjectDocumentList?folderID=260&expandFolder=74>
They list the MD5's in the description column.
I've also seen the hashes provided as separate files. I don't have a
preference.
