Bug 442686 – Handbook: Replace md5sum command with sha1sum

• Status: RESOLVED FIXED
• Product: [OLD] Docs on www.gentoo.org

[Description joe kuzlovsky 2012-11-11 07:59:50 UTC]

I knew md5sum is different from sha but I could not find the command to use for like an hour even with google :(




Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
RTFH
Actual Results:  
In case you wonder if your downloaded file is corrupted or not, you can check its MD5 checksum and compare it with the MD5 checksum we provide (such as install-amd64-minimal-<release>.iso.DIGESTS). You can check the MD5 checksum with the md5sum tool under Linux/Unix or md5sum for Windows.

Expected Results:  
sha512sum -c install-amd64-minimal-20121107.iso.DIGESTS


nobody checks the sums just me ?

maybe the url is not clear, the bug is in the handbook: http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/handbook/handbook-amd64.xml?part=1&chap=2

Thanks for the report.

However, next time please read the bugzilla guidelines to understand how to file a bug for our documentation. And don't change the importance of the bug on your own

Thanks for reporting. I've updated the documentation in our repo so it should show up on the site in an hour or so.
